Today, the Labor Department released the latest unemployment numbers
15,700,000 unemployed of which, 190,000 are new additional jobs in the last month
9,300,000 people working part time who would rather be working full time
808,000 Discouraged Workers – people who have given up looking for jobs
If added together, the horrendous total of people unemployed, underemployed, and no longer even bothering to try to be employed is 25,808,000
As we know, the most serious cause of homelessness is unemployment. Before the current recession, 60% of the homeless population worked and yet was still homeless.
Because of the recession is largely a foreclosure driven catastrophe, it is now worse than ever.
This is a slippery slope under the best of circumstances, which clearly, these are not.
We have a list of honest charitable organizations who are providing help for these brothers and sisters of ours.
Please consider supporting them as generously as you are able. It is good for the homeless, good for your community, good for the country, and it will make you feel good, too.
If you click on our Program Funding (You CAN Help!) over on the sidebar, every dollar will go to the programs that help.
