Work search requirement for unemployment in Louisiana

I understand the job market is dogshit right now, but it never should have been suspended.

ETA: how the frick does this statement get downvotes?

I'm glad I have been keeping a running spreadsheet on all this. Makes it easier and glad it's back.

Good. When I was on unemployment it was a pain in the arse back in the day. I hope these people enjoy that.

Why is their so much hate for people who pay a ton in taxes and are still shut down by the governor getting an abysmal $222 a week unemployment? Not everyone is a minimum wage loser or refusing to work. Very few places are more than 50% capacity.

So people who own bars or wedding reception venues and are shut down by the governor need to apply for minimum wage jobs? They pay thousands in taxes and are shut down through no fault of their own. They shouldn’t be able to collect $222 a week unemployment that they’ve been paying in unemployment taxes for years? My 70 year old neighbor is a substitute teacher. So she shouldn’t be able to get any unemployment?

We get unsolicited resumes pretty often from people wildly unsuited for the field in general, much less anything we might have available. I figure it's people just checking the box for their unemployment claims.

They don’t have enough staff right now to call the almost 400,000 on unemployment to see why the hell they're not working.

So, now they’re magically going to make over a million calls a week (3 per person) to see if Pookie and Tyrell filled out applications? They’re gonna call Walmart and Target for the 25,000 people who lie and put them down as their searches for the week? Sure.

It’d be great if you low life’s found a job. Quit being lazy. Go do work you that you’re over qualified for or think you’re above. Americans are entitled pussies sometimes. There’s plenty of jobs out there. May not be the one you want but for fricks sake quit sinking our economy by taking benefits.
