Hello everyone. My name is Jacky I was recently unemployed and am now under-employed, which I know is better than nothing. I have a lot of friends who luckily have never had to deal with the stress and strain of being unemployed, or under-employed for that matter. One of the most frustrating things that I have encountered is how many of them have taken up the political talking points that people who collect unemployment are lazy and just don't want to work. I know in my case that couldn't be further from the truth. I feel that if you've never had to live your life under such restraints then you have no idea what it is like. So, I would like to publish a book with the stories of people who have had to live there lives unemployed. I am also trying to bring awareness to the fact that many people have committed suicide because of it. I know for some people this can be a very hard topic, but I think that it is very important that others realize that being unemployed, especially for lengthy periods of time, is not a choice or some sort of vacation. I do not plan on making any profits on the book. Whatever money I would get would go to helping non-profits, food pantries and things like that.
My email address is Citizens.United1@gmail.com if you would like to send your story.
