Our economy is being affected by 2 major problems. One is the housing crisis, which covers everything from loss of credit to foreclosures, loss of home equity that people can use to borrow and spend. This generally means less people can afford to do home improvements, or buy home appliances or cars.

Well with that said, this also leads to the second major problem which is underemployment. I can already see based upon my own experience that certain professions like handymen and car salesmen are effected by our first problem, yet they may never file for unemployment. They are just under employed. What actually is happening right now is that there are about 10 percent national unemployment and 40 percent more are underemployed.

I can also say that I myself am underemployed, I have taken a pay cut but I still remain working at my same job and I refuse to slack off. I am forced to go out and pursue side job every weekend but I do it and I pay my bills. This is a major problem that I wish our big government would realize and it really hurts us all.

Underemployment is a much bigger problem than unemployment.
If we only had a problem with unemployment, things would not be so bad. I know it’s tough to be unemployed, because I have been in that position myself. After a few weeks it can make you feel tired and less enthusiastic about looking for a new job, but you have to do it.

Now I can also say that some people who are unemployed are not even looking for a new job. Especially if you are single and you live with relatives, then you can enjoy that check every 2 weeks and live a lazy life. I actually have seen this with my own eyes when I used to go to the unemployment office I saw many lazy people and I even rented a room to a person like this. They all tried to tell me that they would rather stay unemployed, because they can’t find a job that pays well.

That kind of attitude tells me that there are so many lazy people out there. I honestly think that out of 10 percent unemployed only 4 or 5 percent are truly unemployed the rest of these people are just too lazy to go out early in the morning to look for work. Or they are not willing to take any job unless it’s one where they sit in an air-conditioned office and slack off. Maybe that was the reason they got laid off in the first place.

These are also the same type of people that choose to stop paying their rent or mortgages, because they think the government is going to help them out. I’d say help them out to be more lazy. I wish we would just deport these lazy people instead.
