Hello All, my post is mainly for the individuals involved in the Government shutdown, as I read over the comments and entries, I am reminded that we all go through something, but this support makes it easier and I’m thankful for that.

I need a job i am 21 years old and I have been away from my home to find work because my country is very bad the economy is now i am in Sharjah Dubai i am without work because i am a Christian and all people here are myslim and looking me the other eye I am saying that man is not appreciated by his school or religionbut you can see how good it is. Being a good man does not mean you have to graduate because we do not teach us school but teach us life.

IM ALMOST SIXTY. ITS HARD TO GET WORK,THOUGH I TRY EVERY DAY. I WONT DRAW MY PENSION TILL IM 60. I HAVE A STELLAR AND SUPER CLEAN PAST AND JOB HISTORY. MY DD-214 IS CHOCK FULL OF MEDALS AND AWARDS, INCLUDING ONES FROM TWO WARS.BUT OLD TRUMPS ALL IN TODAYS MARKET. AM I BEING AN OLD FOGEY FEELING THIS WAY?

I am finding out harder to find jobs since I have gotten older. Are others experiencing this

Because most employers out there require you To apply on-line and not send paper resumes or Fill out forms on paper. Plus its harder to talk to People in person when your looking. Also, these Places of employment want you to do an on-line assessment. Does anybody think that being on the Computer and applying on is taking much longer to do and is the computer making it more difficult to get a job in 2018 as opposed to 20 or more years ago.

I'm reading about people having difficulty finding employment yet the Gov't keeps reporting we're at near full employment and that there's a scarcity of workers and that rising salaries are causing inflation in the economy. Is the Gov't claims true?

Where to begin my violin story for easiest comprehension. I am a female engineer from the 2000 forward. All I faced from that time forward was prejudice and harrassment. People recommended I talk to HR. That was the worst advice for a woman let alone an a female engineer with no other women in the engineering group all the way to the top. Narurally, HR at GTI told me to handle it. Well, when the topic of my hair color came up over lunch by my supervisor to the point he ordered me to call my husband to verify his claim I colored my hair. Ok today, I'd get up and splash water on him, but I thought playing along I would keep my job. The harassment just grew to unbearable and I left. My boss removed my name from the article I wrote that eventually ended at my next Ft job w/o my name. Of course, the board required my name reinstatement, but it was too late as the dolly had been Sent out. I didn't realize how this would come back to haunt me two years later. I landed a flood contractor role with Dcp in Hobbs , NM. The operators and others enjoyed my engineering prowess but then EPA came. I was put in charge of rectifying the discrepancies in reporting to reality. Once everyone found out I was the one working on it, I became blacklisted from future orohects , my boss went as far as erasing all my completed projects and putting them down as incomplete and last due. Of course this occurred after a previous 'excellent' performance review not two months prior. Yes, I have the documentation of all of this. I was fired for saving lives when I didn't sign approvals on certain issues I believed were unresolved and found the court documentation to support my original statements I was fired for not six months later.

Since then I worked odd jobs f for a couple of thousand a year with no job interviews leaving DCP. I was made to feel like something was wrong with my achieving a higher education making me 'unhireable'. Now I am entering bankruptcy in part due to an injury I sustained on my first day of arrival at a contracting job and am now looking at selling my car for some money to stay afloat.
I can't support Stem in the US as it seems women followed by any higher education in the Sciences are stereotyped to be the dirt of workers with cement ceilings for women, majn!y. HR being the worst the worst in support.
I am at my ends wit what to do as I still have at least ten more years to work, but rejection on rejection with no leads to interviews has raised my hope of ever working at a decent living rate. Yss, i resent when the media repeatedly says there 'aren't enough Americans to fill high tech jobs'. It is BS. We are starving! Computer programs spit us out before an interview for not fulfilling every bullet a hiring manager could think of as a perfect person to employ. They this justify hiring H1B visa workers they train, I know this because I saw the quality of even the ivy league grads, most foreign born, at one well respected company I consulted at. I had to start a dictionary for them to comprehend the words they are throwing around in their reports. I got an interview but my back injury caused me to collapse. No, not one person there offered me a ride or an ambulance to a hospital. I was rejected as an unsuitable candidate and Sent to drive my car back to my rented apartment a failure. Amazing I made it at all!

So I am forming a job program to reduce these bullets no one can fill as demonstrated by many tech jobs remain open for several years. My current immediate need is income of well my house. Now would you like to live this njghtmare?

If you were born between 1965-1980, I'd love to hear - does this sound about right to you?.. Interesting article about the gen-xers trying to get stuff done. https://www.bostonmagazine.com/news/2018/04/10/generation-x-boston-workforce/

I did not expect the economy to be so poor in Florida still. I don't care what the mayor says about job growth and "unqualified people" not getting hired. I am over qualified in my area, there are no jobs because companies are not seeing revenue due to low inflation. Dont get me wrong, billions of dollars are being spent on more high rise apartments and College expansions. Where are the kids going to work? New Tampa Bay Bucs Stadium?

When we The People, begin to understand and accept that in the good old USA there is no such thing as job security the better off we will be. I had to learn that the hard way after years of micro management, power plays, and the flexing of authority just because they could, not because they have to.

The only way to go in this country now is to create your own business, this is the only way that you can be assured that fairness of anykind will be executed.

However, be careful not to become just what they corporate america has become, power driven, not people caring because if you don't you will become just another hemp of rubbish in the industrial complex called the United States of America.

And for those that don't know any better the United States of America, recorded in historical records true name is The Corporation of the United States. It might not hurt if all of the unknower of true history do some real deep research, it all available. Why do you think the Government has been trying to implement laws to prohibit certain uses of the Internet. Please don't say because you think its for our own good!

Take off the blinders, and you might be able to find why we as a people have evolved in such a ruthless society and no more than a mere small pawn in a inhuman systematic, programmed world made up of non caring identies.
