- K Just watched the segment on unemployment. Until you have been in my shoes, I don't want to hear any complaints. I have been a CNA for over 20 yrs and proud of it. Seems to me these people seem to think that they don't have to stoop to my level. Or a fast food, grocery, simple man's level. What is wrong with people. I work hard get a pay check. They could get a job if they really wanted to. But no they don't want to get their hands dirty. Get a grip people do what you have to do. WORK.. I am really upset with this episode. That should not be what America is about. We have the opportunities, take them. It may not be what you did before but it is a darn job. Wake the Heck up. Very upset with this......

- I am a Veteran Widow living in my car and have been unemployed for 4 years. My skills are not current and cannot get a job. I was working for the Department of Veterans Affairs Palo Alto Health Care Systems for 4 1/2 years and was told you don't have any rights and was terminated. Why was I terminated not because of my skills but my Supervisor's friend or family member needed a job. I was also told my Supervisor that I could get a job because I was California Certified so 4 years later and living in my car still unemployed. Homeless!!!
