WASHINGTON — One in five applications by young undocumented immigrants applying for President Obama’s “deferred action” protection has been fraudulent, the chairman of the House Homeland Security Committee said Tuesday. Rep. Michael McCaul (R-Texas) provided no details during a congressional hearing, where Obama’s expansion of his 2012 protective order was under scrutiny. But an aide said later that the figure had been provided by US Customs officials at a closed briefing. Hom ...

Here is the historical data from the US Dept. of Labor Bureau of Statistics. Funny how the last big (and highest) spike was under the Reaganomics regime. As you can see, it isn't as high yet as it was then. I predict it will peak roughly where it did then and will start to go back down as it did then. If it keeps rising and does not show signs of a drop, then I'll panic. After all, most conservatives think Ronnie was wonderful don't they? &nbs ...

Is it possible that somebody receives SS benefits and at the same time also unemployment payments? My neighbor tells me that he receives both. I think it is possible, but this man is 80 years old and lost his job 16 months ago and is since then collecting unemployment and social security benefits. My question is: Is there an age limit for receiving unemployment benefits? I doubt that this man, aged 80, is looking for a job! He told me that he is so happy looking for ...

(Reuters) - New U.S. claims for unemployment aid unexpectedly rose last week to touch their highest level in eight months, pushed up by factors ranging from spring break layoffs to the introduction of an emergency benefits program, a government report showed on Thursday.

A financial pundit, James Galbraith, suggested: We have a large cohort of people who have been displaced by a major economic crisis,” he says. “It's utterly ridiculous to make them subsist on unemployment insurance, when in fact, there aren’t going to be jobs. This is not a temporary condition for a great many people.” Galbraith claims lowering the retirement age would solve that problem. It's a win-win, he says, allowing those nearing retirement a ...

I think the most encouraging part of this report is in the last paragraph. The U.S. added 120,000 jobs in November, but the unemployment rate posted a huge drop to 8.6% from 9% and a broader unemployment rate fell even more to 15.6% from 16.2%. Why? The number of jobs added comes from a survey of establishment payrolls. The unemployment rate comes from a separate survey of U.S. households. The household survey is much smaller than the establishment survey, and as a result it can swing around a ...

Canada's economy continues to outshine other advanced countries as the unemployment rate unexpectedly dipped below 8 percent for the first time in a year and half. Statistics Canada said Friday the country added a higher-than-expected 93,000 jobs in June and said the unemployment rate dropped to 7.9 percent. Economists had expected a more modest 15,000 to 20,000 job increase and that the rate would remain at 8.1 percent. It's the second biggest gain ever recorded by the agency in ...
