Unemployment and homeless.

Will be HOMELESS in PA. November 30, 2010 |

Unemployment Stories | Share I moved from NY to Pa for a job in July 2008. They layed me off in Dec. 2008 5 months after I started. I have been unemployed since. In the 2 years I have a total of 4 weeks of temp work. I am on tier 4 with 3 1/2 weeks left. Without my unemplyment benifits I will be homeless by New Years. I apply to all jobs hoping that there is a position for me. I have been turned down for a supermarket job cause I am OVER QUALIFIED to be a cashier. I can’t even get a job that pays min wage then how does the Govement expect me to pay my bills ( Rent, Food, Heat, ETC….) I need the unemployment till I can get back on my feet
