Hey folks, the new @zz in the senate is MITCH(the dick)MCCONNELL. He's acting like some spoiled little kid who throws a tantrum when he does not get his way. The Repubs are the party of the obselete. I promise you, I will not forget the way these anti humans treated me when I was down and out. They are the party of the country club, good ole boys. Please help me get Mr. Mitch's attention by putting down your thoughts. Mention him by name so he and his cronies will know that we will talk about you if you don't get you buttocks in gear.

desperate times brings desperate measures people… get this damn thing passed before more killings and robberies happen. a 19 yr old homeless robbed a store in our neighborhood and because the owner of the store had no real cash on hand the boy stabbed him 14 times and needless to say the store owner died, i fall asleep to gun shots, ambulances roaring by, what is it going to take to drive this point of hunger, poverty, homelessness,to the people in control of this extension.. pass it get your asses off the luncheon tables with your martinis out of your hand and get it done! for gods sake please. i can't imagine what you are all even thinking about.

I am from Georgia and just found out about this program -- I pray that other states have similiar programs as well...
______________________________________________________________________________

In response to historically high levels of unemployment, Georgia Department of Labor (GDOL) Commissioner Michael L. Thurmond created Georgia Work$ (GW$), an innovative training initiative designed to stimulate job growth and hiring.

GW$ allows unemployment insurance (UI) claimants to draw UI benefits, while receiving workplace training from a potential employer for a maximum of 24 hours per week for up to six weeks. Claimants qualify for up to $300 in training stipends (an average of $50 weekly) to help defray training related costs such as child care and transportation. Upon completion of training, participants receive credentials of acquired job skills and are considered for employment. About 60 percent of those who complete GW$ training have been hired.

Through GW$, more than 3,000 UI claimants have been hired upon completion of training and nearly 6,000 different Georgia employers have participated.

GW$ information is available in each of the department's 53 career centers throughout the state.

Interested UI claimants should take the following steps for program consideration:

Email inquiries to gaworks@dol.state.ga.us. GW$ telephone operators are available at 1-877-WORKS09 (1-877-967-5709).
