  • di lang US ang nawalan ng work, worldwide ata na!

  • Right..

  • 90% of all the jobs taken by ILLEGAL ALIENS are stolen from AFRICAN AMERICANS!!! Whites don't CARE if blacks lose jobs!!! WHITES just want cheap labor!!! WHITES want AMNESTY for ILLEGALS!! WHITES want the DREAM ACT to pass and bring MORE cheap labor to AMERICA!

    SAVE AFRICAN AMERICAN'S JOBS AND EDUCATION DOLLARS.......STOP ILLEGAL ALIENS!!

  • how sad that u go through all this just 2 get ur basic needs met(money for them), it's no wonder y some people go in debt 2 get their basic needs met. debt is much quicker than dealing with all this bullshit. it's a pain in the ass 2 be a human being. why could i have not been born a rock? a rock has complete peace of mind. whoever created humans was a cruel motherfucker, that's all i have 2 say

  • YOURE an idiot....if youre entitled, get your Money!

  • Thanks for posting this video of how bad things are on the West coast as far as jobs are concerned. I have been out of work 1 1/2 years when the company I worked for left Oregon and went to a city wth a lower minimum wage. In Oregon in a month wages will go up another 20 cents and more companies will move to one of the 6 states that does not have to pay federal minimum wage. I hate what has happened to this state and the REAl unemployment rate here is 24% at least.

  • I love it ! California collapse !

    I just moved my business to Nevada from Ca last year expecting more Demorat BS with Jerry Brown and Boxer and the rest of the idiots with over taxation and regulation. I used to deal with 7 SEVEN gov. oversight agencies in CA...now...1 ONE ! in Nevada. I'm now in a complex with 9 other businesses....guess what...they are ALL from Ca !

    I can't wait till CA raises taxes and eviro laws on my Ca. Competitors ! It's gonna be like Christmas with Dems in office

  • Why don't non profits allow unemployment benefits at all????  Seems totally ridiculous!

  • Comment removed

  • I live in Portland and there are no jobs here. The REAL unemployment rate here is 35-65% or more. If they would really tell you how bad it really is then people would really know about the jobs situation. They are trying to eliminate the population through this job elimination. The call centers are all gone here in Portland and the ones that are left will not hire me because I use a walker. Things are really really bad.They need to tell us how bad things really are. I hate what they have done.

  • the system sux, the reps dont have accurate info, pmts are delayed and the benefit calculations punish people for taking temp work etc.

  • I never thought of unemployment as welfare until someone pointed it out to me. It has been given a middle class shine to it. Now, things are SO bad that people collect unemployment (when they can get it) and food stamps. I think many states are bankrupt and need the government to bankroll them.

    America needs another ling industrial/manufacturing boom to solve at least PART of this problem!

  • unemployment is welfare. living well in fear.

  • Most won't do my job. Why don't they relocated or take a job for less pay. They don't deserve UI for years. It is NOT RETIREMENT. Useless nonproductive greedy asses.

  • I lost my job last evening & I was going to do it online but since I have never applied before so I need to call. I hope its not to get threw. Thanks for the video.

    Also does any1 know if I have an expired licence due to a few unpaid tickets will the cops come knocking on my door of if it U.I. goes to the court will they arrest me or something.

  • it varys by state... california is fucked up...my state we get paid and i talk to the euc operator every time i call stop cryin.... keep callin... or go to fuckin work...simple as that..pussy

  • I was out of work for 8 months (april to Nov 2009) in Huntsville Alabama. 7 months of busy signals, did 40-60 calls per hour for 6 hours a day to get unemployment. Never did get through.

    I wrote my senator (Republican because he is hungary to get something done) and he started working on the system.

  • US GOVERNMENT REFORM MUST BEGIN NOW starting with a complete clearing of all Congress and House debatable-elected-Officials!!!

  • how's that hope and change working for you

  • THIS VIDEO NEEDS TO BE FEATURED! The US Government creates an agency to discourage people from collecting what we already PAID INTO!

  • @lumeriam Like social security, the pay-in is being skimmed to pay interest on state debt.

  • edd sucks big time.

  • I've been trying to get through for days. Over the last three days, I've spent 3 hours trying to get through. They were slow to process my claim in October, and I started a pre-approved Federally granted unemployment insurance eligible eduction program in the middle of November. I'm still trying to get my checks dated back to the second week of November, and my February rent is due soon.

  • I'm about to do the same George unemployment cripples you literally.

  • prepare for dark ages. sharpen up your machette for cannibalism?

  • if my bro didn't take me in I would be down to spending like 3 bucks a day to eat and never showering. just washing pits and crotch at mccy d's,maybe picking up aluminum cans or something.

  • time to go back to DC to practice our 2nd amendment right.

  • 1 more month of delays and im breaking into estates you rich mother fuckers! if i get caught at least ill have a place to sleep and you'll be dead!

  • My employer is fighting me on unemployment. I actually havent filed in one month. If I lose the fight, I would have to pay it back. Right now it's 1300 so it isn't that bad. They frighten us. Now what???

  • This is the BREAKDOWN and collapse of government and state! All these political HACKS do is show up in their $500.00 suits and tie and lets not forget their AIDS. These little bastards are hired to run after the needs of the boneheads in Congress. It's time folks to get your shit together and prepare for the fight of your life, maybe ol George can give you some ring side advice. Get em George....

  • You weren't calling on a Furlough Friday were you? State workers are furloughed on most Fridays.

  • unemploymentalityDOT com

  • Search Continental Congress 2009. Revolution has already begun, much more support is needed though!

  • The reason the media is not reporting this is because the dumbocrats own the liberal media and it is bad press to point out the obvious fact that the dumbocrats have no clue how to fix the economy. Hang in there the republicans will be back in office soon, and businesses will be given incentives to expand, hire, and create jobs. Democrap social experiment=Epic Fail

  • I thought this guy was george 4 title? why the name change? YEa....the process is soooo dificult...

  • Everybody who had money and didn't give a shit about helping anyone else with their greedy ass doesn't know how bad this is going to get. This includes the people who were too scared shitless to do something about this when we had a chance. Blame the victims you pieces of shit. Guess who's getting robbed first when this shit starts crackin off you stupid fucks? The thugs are just waiting till it's cool to start getting that money from people who think they're better than homeless people

  • If they turn the internet off, heads are going to roll, I'll tell you that.

  • Everybody's unemployment up here is running out too. Reality isn't going to set in until it runs out for some of the people.

    I don't see how we're not going into Revolution right now. The only question is going to be what kind of revolution are we going to have? Communist or Constitutional? Obama basically is a communist revolution himself, and that ain't working out too good, so I think it will go towards a free market style small central gov. type deal with charity replacing welfare

  • Nope. Free market will get all the blame. Either way, I'm in. Heads must roll. I don't care what comes afterward.

  • what kind of job did you have before ?

  • George , lol

    you need to buy phone that makes automatic recalls and put it on speakerphone

  • What job did you lose?

  • Blast from the past: 2003, you call EDD once, a nice assistant who guides you through a check-listed process.

    A week later, all the papers arrive in the mail, and you just fill out brief info and send return them in the mail.

    One week of waiting elapses, then the beautiful State checks start coming every two weeks.

    For your extension, you'd simply call up, get a rep, and ask them. Whammo, you get that too.

    Ah, sweet life in Californina of 3% unemployment!

  • no you don't you can just do it online, it's not that hard. a monkey can do it, but you can't

  • when you do it online they block it and tell you to do it over the phone and you cant get through

  • Gold hits $1200 mark.

  • @PresbytersOfTruth

    really it's the price of the dollar going down, not gold going up. In most other countries gold has been steady, but because the dollar is losing so much value gold in the US is going up.

  • Gold will go up everywhere though, not just in the US. The UD Dollar is the globe's reserve currency still. Hence, the rise in gold.

  • @mmmunson I'm aware of that,but thanks anyway.

  • Good stuff George! I wouldn't blame you for trying to get your unemployment, as I'd have done the same thing, but then I can't blame you for walkin' away either. California is a foretaste of what the rest of the country is going to look like in 6 months to a year, that is...until the real collapse takes place.

  • I say just become full time film maker.

  • If government is growing, economy is dropping.

  • Comment removed

  • Just like the UC system registration for classes. Never get through.

  • great

  • What a plan, make it as humanly as impossible so people will give up. Government scumbags. Gee, I wonder how healthcare will be run eh?

  • 15% unemployment.

    maybe adjust to a humble life style and be part of the 85% that is working

  • actually, right now in my life,

    they have just released tier 3 benefits in my state, HI starting last week, but i havent got thru, calling many times

    every day.. the only number that one can call always

    begins as a voice prompt, and after several buttons,

    1, 1, 1, 5, my S.S. #,

    then it says please hold while we connect you ,,

    then after waiting for about 3 minutes it says~

    all circuts are busy, please try again later~

    disconnect

  • This is funny. Everyone in my favorite State is about to go broke. I will wait until it happens with the dumb ass co#%k Sucker Governor bastard you all have ELECTED TWICE to buy up the land!

  • I've never seen any MSM pick up the phone and dial a government agency... LOL... They only tell us how vital these agencies are to us. Not how bad they suck in your hour of need.

  • grow marijuana

  • good cash crop. I had a tennant in one of my rental properties set up his hydroponic farm in my garage.

    Had over 200 plants.

    My rent was paid on time and in CASH.

    LOL

  • 4xtech, love it, I almost fell over in my chair laughing!

  • build you a small business just make sure you keep debt as lo as possible

  • bilpayne -

    I have been looking at putting in a small biz, and already own the commercial property for it. I'm located on a highway, with the ocean directly across the street in a small town. What biz's do you consider recession/depression proof? I have considered both an ice cream joint, and a survival store. From what I have ready, both do pretty well in bad times...which seems odd for an ice cream store...

  • I would say the ice cream kinda limited market for Survival store and would have to compete with

    e bay and and other things on the internet that you wouldn't with ice cream

  • I'm leaning towards the ice cream. Who doesn't like ice cream. =]

  • Buy and sell silver coins from the 1800's.  Gold is out of reach at over $1.000 an ounce. I sold and bought old U S coins on ebay and did really well. It is the only way for people to get ahead in this tumbling dollar economy.

  • As they say, Gold is the King's money and silver is the common folk's money.

  • what gold i do have i just paid $300 and under years ago gold is only good for so much if there was even one major world currency backed in gold would be more bullish on it many ways to beet inflation no one of them will be right for everyone gold dont pay an income and by time you had enough gold to do some good you could buy an oil well or something else to make income

  • I hope that you can hold on to that gold, and yes, as was the case with the gold that I had the pawn shop got mine when times got tough lol. Still it would have to beat paper money I would think.

  • heard a ton of ads on radio lately ..telling people to go on line and file in calif. we live in desperate times.. our government is OUT OF CONTROL

    good luck to all

  • Kudos on walking away from your unemployment benefits!

    We have to stop supporting the big government nanny state... and that includes holding your hand out for entitlements. I will never take an unemployment check or social security. I don't believe in the government's right to coerce citizens into this system (although I'd be okay with a voluntary system).

    The money to fund these programs comes from deficit spending and "printing" money.

    Just say no... to entitlements.

  • Oh no! I have to send a day on the phone to get money.

    That little time is not worth the hundreds of dollars in "benifits"?

    I'll spend half a day on the phone if you'll give me money for it.

  • Yep... I've been looking for a job for 11 months now. I have a list of places I've applied at since January. It's over two whole pages long. This is getting very frustrating. My unemployment benefits have also run out months ago. I had to ride my bike for over 10 miles from Pomona to Rancho Cucamonga to the Inland Office of Appeals for a hearing, to try and get money flowing in again. It took me an hour and 20 minutes to get there. I don't have a car. Life sucks, so does the economy.

  • Las Vegas is hiring! MGM City center is in final phases of opening. Pulling people from older properties. Apply online to every major hotel/casino. Great city bus lines, and fairly cheap temporary housing. Good Luck

  • Ha... well unfortunately I'm already settled here in Pomona, CA with my girlfriend. I've spent my whole life here. I have no job, running out savings, no car, nothing. My transportation is my bicycle.

  • 5 stars. The political rhetoric at the media end often does not match reality. In the UK we have a pandemic of forms. These forms often suffer form obesity and are infected with tickboxes. Where you find one form you will often find many others! Cheers

  • Hows all this HOPE AND CHANGE workin out for ya.

    I sure hope everyone who voted for Fobama is struggling.

    Fuck you all!

  • You said it.

  • i should get a job at that umemployment office

  • It took me about 2 1/2 hours of constant dialing to get through last summer. It's worse now. There was a snag with my check that should have come 2 weeks ago, I have to wait for an appointment to get things started again. First available appt. is Dec 14th. It will probably take 10 days to get a check from that point. That means no income for 5-6 weeks!

    Hmmm... what else can I sell around the house..... I have a college degree, a good work history, I've even considered pan handling.

  • man i wish you luck dude...have faith man. Keep your head up.

  • hang in there brotha

  • Great vid George.

  • I remember calling them every 5 mins or so for 2 days straight and never got through once. I probably called over 500 times in one week. I have no idea why they don't hire. I mean they are paying out benefits and they can't hire some more help to answer questions over the phone.

  • @ChelleOh99~ Yeah there was one near my house and it is closed with a help wanted sign in the window.. When it was open a friend of mine would go daily. He is a vet and didn't get much help at all. An educated man that works at Autozone and knows little about cars. He barely gets 25 hours a week. . Not his career or job choice but all that he could get. Hard times are upon us~ Be well everyone~ Thanks for your Vid's~

  • Man get out of Cali! Run fo yo LIFE!

  • CA is tanked

  • wait.....

    George, ALL of your physical EDD offices in Cali are closed?

    How can that be? When you call the people on the other end (after waiting for so long to get through) where are they at with your sensitive info?

    I know they haven't outsourced you unemployment data to stay at home workers/telecommuters just to save a buck/ save face? Shocking!!!

    Sometime people need to go in person to let others know of a REAL CONCERN but it would seem that Cali took that option away from you.

  • I file for unemployment online, much easier but I live in NJ.

    CA sounds like such a mess.

  • I am in NYC. its not that hard, plus DOL even offered free classes to help me in my job search.

  • great story and info, thx George

  • I feel your pain, although not to the degree that you are. I live in Ok. Used to be employed by one of the fortune 500's cut last april and could call in on sunday and get through, then it went to monday, now its tuesday. Hey look at kdenniger, he has a graph of unemployment nationn wide from 2007 to present, Very Scary.

  • There is more jobs in Oklahoma or in parts not sure the part you are in much of the trouble is now people have collage degrees in stead of skills like welding etc that is needed

  • Quit paying unemployment all together..I bet people would find work real quick. Hey....someone had to say it. California is an example of what NOT to do. Why can't people see that the nanny state does not work..it makes people lazy.

  • I'd like to believe you on that but there are unfortunately more unemployed people looking for work than there are jobs, I know, I've looked.

  • I'm only working about 12 hours a week and I been trying to get unemployment. I applied in June and have only gotten two checks so far. It's ridiculous. I had to sell 50 ounces of silver so I could pay my rent and other bills.

  • George,

    Now this is a great video.

    I want all of your videos to be this good!

  • You are right on George. Keep makin the vids. thanks. Ignore the haters. If they don't like your vids, they don't need to watch. No one is twisting their arm.

  • Contact your state representative you dumb shit.

  • Your tone of voice, your tone of writing, is very rude.

  • It seems that certain people have nothing better to do than throw hate towards George.

  • You are the new media news people count on good work george god bless you keep it up

  • Hi George,

    SORRY to hear about your struggles too. If I can be of ANY help, I will TRY to see what I can do. As you know things are rough for me too BUT we are ALL on the SAME team here. TAKE CARE and GOD BLESS.

    Karl

  • Yet another great video, George. You are stepping up and filling in where the bums on the mainstream media have completely turned a blind eye.

    Does anyone else think California's financial and economic crisis is NOT independent of the liberal and socialist policies they took up and were so proud of while many others were warning them for years?

  • I LOVE GEORGE4TITLE

    HE IS THE MAN!!!!!

    All the haters out there can sit and hate. But make sure you keep watching every video he puts out andevery project hes involved wtih--the support is great. Oh yeah, and while you sit there with no money and dont try to re-invent yourself to survive--make sure you watch George show you how its done. Hes turned his channel into a revanue stream for himself and family. Well done George. Thats the American (hard work + effort= money and sucess) peace

  • Yup.

  • George I have been watching your videos for a while and you are a talented video reporter. With that being said, if you can't support your family through this work then you need to turn off the camera, get off your ass and get a job to support your family. Claiming unemployment is a joke - quit being like the leaches that you claim to despise.

  • wow.

    you are being Presumptious sir and sounding a bit judgmental

    bad day?!?!?

  • Another great vid George. Thanks.

  • Wait till we get stuck with government run healthcare..

  • If you 'walked away' then that is your decision.

    Yes, it's hard to get through. So what?

    You spent 1/2 hr and stopped trying??

    Your job while unemployed is to stay on the phone 8 hrs a day if necessary, - like a job, - because it IS a job in a way. I usually agree with you but not on this one. Yes, the unemployment rate is high, yes, - you'll also get extended benefits as a result.

  • just like Lindsey Williams said, in the next 2 years everyone will be working for the ....you got it...GOVERNMENT

  • GOLD IS SOARING...but nothing compared to what it will do in another month or so.

  • America is dead thank GOD!!!

    George you greedy fat cow, you make enough money on google adds and youtube why he hell you claiming you pathetic human waste!!!

  • He's not, you piece of shit.

  • My friend has extensions equaling about a year. Our State has high unemployment, so she's can expect another 46 weeks in extended benefits. My brother in law loaded up on overtime before being fired. His unemployment check now is based on his regular + OT pay! Both are receiving checks almost or equal to their take home when they were working, - without the expenses. Stop complaining. My "job" when I was unemployed was to stay on the phone 'til I got thru. AND, I never got extensions.

  • I know you think I'm just a Bay Area liberal, sucking the system dry, but I'm just not a fool that's going to go back to work and take a pay cut from the unemployment benefits that I'm receiving. Every single job I've been offered is a pay cut from the $356 per week in benefits. If I take that pay cut, I don't pay rent. It's that simple. There's more reality for you, even from the trenches you disagree with.

  • Your situation is exactly what's wrong with the system. It shows how truly far we have to fall. But they just won't let it go, yet. I will be with you soon. Still have a job, but it isn't going to last much longer.

  • All these government entitlement programs are just contributing to the problem.

  • WAKE UP AMERICA - Please listen. I beg you to listen while there is still time. I was a none believer about this doom and gloom. We are in serious trouble. Within the next 12 months, the U.S. Treasury will have to refinance $2 trillion in short-term debt. And that's not counting any additional deficit spending, which is estimated to be around $1.5 trillion. Get ready mentally, buy additional food, water, clothing, leave the city and wait until 2020 when things will begin to get better.

  • oh shut yer mouth. The recession is over, but if all hell breaks loose, and i dont have food. I will steal your food, and kill your for meat.

    Easily solved

  • Your right of course. Some tips for people:

    1) keep very little money in the bank

    2) minimize how much state/fed tax you pay

    3) get a year food supply

    4) buy a couple of guns

    5) secure your house/get a video security system

    6) don't let ANYBODY know your prepared

    7) get rid of all debt if possible

    I have done all those things, but made the mistake of trying to help somebody. He says he would break into my place to get food rather than prepare himself. Heed # 6 above.

  • I can't tell you how many times I have been stabbed in the back by people who were hard up and I helped them, asking for nothing, and they ended up feeling weird about it and then just bit me, called me names. Best to you, wise advice here.

  • Wow, I can so relate.

  • Yes, I've seen this also. Help someone and they turn on you. Is this human nature? I hope not.

  • ~You just broke rule #6 xD

  • 8) If it's your first time at fight club...you have to fight.

  • So far, I've got the first few tips down.

  • You have to sit on the phone all day to have a chance of getting through, also my friend says she has to wait 2 months between extensions before she gets a check.

  • started dialing at 7:30 am this morning, got the message to hold at 9:15 and have been on hold since...it is now 10:59...still listening to the same message over and over...says someone will be with you with in the hour...

  • george what people dont get either ,their ar hundreds of thousands of people who worked on a 1099 who didnt pay taxes and cannot get U.E benefits i was one of the few in the construction industry who refused to go 1099 and had trouble finding a company who would take taxes out of my check and pay U.E insurance and everyone called me a fool for doing that but all these people who went exempt have or are losing there homes cars trucks,, i rode miy U.E out but got another job making 1/4 what i use2

  • Google EDAR

  • You have to goto WorkOne in Indiana, to get your benifits.. Using the phone is worthless... Because all you'll get a robots....

  • george go to the edd website and fill out your application there. you are never going to get anywhere playing phone roullete.

  • very good. California suffers a mental 2012.

  • They need to hire all the people who are calling them. lol

  • lets all make money from illegal drugs, just like our gov's do

  • Gr8 time laps-narative vlog !! you should do this more often...It has a catchy  thing...

  • Damn what a mess... I thought europe was bad

  • as of 7:12am pst gold is just about to breach $1200 /oz, get ready folks

    $1197.30+

  • George, I'm unemployed here in Colorado and I can never get through on the phone, I do everything online. It's easier that way. I've been out of work for the past 9 months. My extension ends in Feb 2010. I'm looking for a job to send a resume to right now. Most of the jobs I apply for pay 4-5 dollars less than I was making. Things are bad.

  • whoa...good luck my man

  • Thanks George, Luv your videos! Mike

  • Go to your local EDD office. That is what I had to do. So far, those people have been very, very nice. And, they have helped me out quite a bit.

    I was employed for 22 years at the same place. Being unemployed is pretty scary , but myr local office honestly has been just great.

    Go down to your local EDD office and talk to someone in person.

  • lol...they closed those years ago

  • MA is over nine weeks behind their schedule. RI is over 15 weeks behind their schedule. If you lose your job, and don't have savings, or someone to help you out, your going find yourself up the creek.

  • how is it getting through?

  • LoL---- By phone, good luck, unless they call you, 14-20 weeks later! The best bet if you want to talk to someone is to go to an office. That's how I found out how backed up they are.

  • An unfortunate reality for many Americans. I've found that if I want to speak to someone in the unemployment office, I have to call the office around a certain time during the day or wind up having to wait the next day to speak to anyone. I only needed to do this to initiate my claim, for everything else, I just go online because it is faster and I am more likely to have what I need processed more efficiently.

  • I thought Obama had road construction projects and internet bandwidth expansion projects? Is this not true? It is what he campaigned on.

    Hey, I sit in a cubicle and deal with calls all day., not unlike what you are experiencing. If you can finally get through and get your benefits, consider it your paycheck....you had to earn it!

  • Yup, Obama had empty promises

  • I'm sorry you are having these problems. I'm thinking there are a lot of other states that will soon follow CA

  • geat vid good info this is important

  • first

  • you 1st wow. What did you win?

  • your momma'
