Typical? Where would you like to start? Double dipping? Government employees working 20 or 30 years, getting their retirement pension started coming in, then go back to work, while building a new pension to draw later in addition to the one they already have. Have you seen Obama's "jobs" bill? Not the stuff printed on media sites for your consumption, the plan itself? whitehouse.gov Third, the American Jobs Act of 2011 helps out-of-work Americans by extending unemployment benefits to help them support their families while looking for work, and by reforming the system with training programs that build real skills, connect to real jobs, and help the long-term unemployed. It bans employers from discriminating against the unemployed when hiring, and provides a new tax credit to employers hiring workers who have been out of a job for over 6 months. And, it expands job opportunities for hundreds of thousands of low-income youth and adults through a new Pathways Back to Work Fund that supports summer and year round jobs for youth; innovative new job training programs to connect low-income workers to jobs quickly; and successful programs to encourage employers to bring on disadvantaged workers. Extending? We're already almost at two years unemployment now aren't we?
