Tuesday, January 13th, 2009

(Columbus, Ohio - AP) – A reminder that Ohio has extended hours of operation for its unemployment claims hot line. The state has added nine hours on weekdays and opened the line for six hours on Saturdays. From Wednesday through Friday, the telephone line will be running from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m., instead of 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. On Saturdays, the hot line will be open from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. On Mondays and Tuesdays, hours will remain 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. The hot line was receiving 80,000 calls a day compared to the 7,500 it usually gets. People can also fill out unemployment claims on a state Web site at any time.

Yep the government really needs to get things going here in the states all over it is sad to see first hand the people that want to work and can't because of lack of employment, and then the people that don't want to work get jobs just because there homeless.

Yep yep, Mike... Doesn't sound like a very fair trade-off, does it?

Its gonna get even hasrder to get a job as long as the government keeps shipping all the jobs to Mexico and other places.

Yes it is, Salt. We have Ohio Art (Etch-A-Sketch) and Spangler Candy Company (Dum Dum suckers) here in Bryan. My X Brother-In-Law has worked at Spanglers for almost 30 years now. He can't believe all the jobs that they have sent over seas either. Ohio Art has leased space out in their HUGE building, as there isn't much that they do here at this plant anymore because of shipping jobs over seas where they can have it done for MUCH less...
