had a good segment tonight about the longterm unemployed; to be specific, those who have exhausted all benefits:

It is a depressing segment. I am going through much the same thing.
I am "working," if you can call it that, substituting as an teacher's aide for a piddling $11.58 an hour but of course it isn't reliable work. When I substitute taught in Nevada, I never even cleared a thousand dollars a month. Even if I had a "full-time" job doing this stuff, which I wouldn't do, it would pay only about 15k a YEAR. Not enough to even rent a place, so I would not do it. Not for a job requiring heavy lifting, tube feeding, toileting, and even inserting catheters.
I am also looking at working a temporary clerical position for the Christmas season. At least it pays once a week, unlike the SOESD position, which pays only once a month.
I can hardly stand it anymore.
