I spent 22 years in the AF, retired in 06. Got a job as a service tech working a maintenance contract at a home chain. Good job, decent money, flexible hours. Well, we lost the contract end of June, company is closing its doors 28 Aug, 150 unemployed. This week I just got hired working for the parent company part time, hoping to get enough of the others companies work to make it a full time position, but don't know. Anyway, even when you think you have it good the bomb can drop any time. Out of the 10 people in our region I am the only one that has found a decent job so far, and 6 of 10 are retired military, and all can turn a wrench and are computer literate.
A little empathy for the unemployed can go a long way. Many did nothing wrong, did not overspend and are victims of the economy. It's a sad time for America and it will be nice to see the economy recover and get everyone back to work.Last edited by Jetstang; 07-21-2009 at 06:03 AM.
