Man losing your job is the pits.

Some of the churches are starting up support groups to give direction in how to find jobs, if that would help.

Nothing going on there, but who knows, with an acquisition there's even more need for our stuff.

Sorry to hear that more of us are facing hard times While many american citizens are losing thier jobs and looking for work, I have witnessed a huge increase in illeagal aliens in the construction industry. I am a master carpenter with over 35 years experience, and I am sickened at what is going on. First of all the quality of the work is horrible and the fact that they are paying no taxes, workmans comp, or health insurance is very unfair to all of us that are trying to run a business in a leagle way. Why are they being allowed to do this?
Seems like whatever jobs cant be shipped overseas are being filled by illeagals who are shipped here. The guys who are running this cheap labor scam are getting rich and stealing our jobs. I am currently working and am more worried about the younger folks who have to compete for these jobs.
Ok I had to vent a little
