Obama to Unemployed: More Help Is on the Way.
President Barack Obama has a message for the unemployed: More help is on the way.

The president was outlining steps Friday to help the unemployed pursue education and training, and keep their unemployment benefits, too.

1. Unfortunately, unemployment is not an easy or quick fix.
It takes time to get the numbers back.

2. i`ve heard this before..
training for what? there are no jobs in this country and there will not be any jobs in this country until our trade policies are based in reality. the chances of actually changing trade policies to benefit the american worker is 0.

4. To make do with less
The only way training would help would be if it was training on how to live on a third-world salary. You can be sure that jobs will come back to America -- when the wage levels come down to the average Chinese or Indian wage.
