Bogwalker, The government keeps talking about people who "quit looking for work" I think this is a lie, developed to shift the blame. Once people are off the unemployment rolls, there is no mechanism to track who is looking for work. It defies logic to believe that people who have lost their unemployment checks (and their ability to by groceries) will just quit looking for work.
Work One has a junk website that makes it look like they really have all this work available. I have jumped through hoops on their BS website, gone through endless links, populated 100's of fields for these sites only to get to a message that says "this job is no longer available". Or sometimes after wasting 1/2 hour of time find out it is a volunteer position. I have been requested to interview for jobs that are an hour and a half drive each way that pays $8.00 and hour. In other words the job does not pay enough after taxes to cover the commute cost. If you refuse one of these, you are listed as refused to work. It seems to me the only people that really get benefit from their program are the people who work for the program.
