I know right! I bet there are people sleeping...eating...using the bathroom...probably even BREATHING instead of out looking for work.

Showing such lack of discipline is why this country is where it is.....



Actually I do get your point...there defintely ARE people out there who could be trying harder...and trust me...when they get to the end of the Unemployment extension...they will be...but by then its too late.

As someone who was unemployed for almost 18 months at one point...its actually mentally unhealthy to NOT take a break from looking for work.

I had a lot of 18 hour days applying for everything, or going door to door downtown to find work and I was actually told that I needed to back off as I was driving myself crazy!
