Looking for a job is becoming more stressful than ever God know what will happen

[nisha1010]

I am a single parent of two boys.  Both my kids and I have been looking for a job for so long already but havent found anything.  I am collecting unemployment.  If I take a job that pays 8 dollars an hour, i will bring home less money than unemployment.  Kids have tried their luck with quite a few things but havent succeeded.  I am so stressful. I want to do something from home, but cant find any babysitting jobs either in or around my area.  Any idea how to get work from home??

Hello please do not give up, while you are collecting unemployment try going back to school using financial aid,there are programs out there that take as little as 6 weeks and have great earning potential such as CNA or Techs in a hospital that can make as much as $20 an hour. In the meantime apply for food stamps and medicaid without a job you should be eligible and tell your kids to work anywhere in the meantime

You must have had a high-paying job, if you make more than 8 bucks an hour on unemployment. I take it you can't find another job in your field? Did you consider looking in another state? Sometimes other areas have different job needs. Like ladyboss said, look into getting more education, preferably in the medical field. There always seems to be a lot of good jobs in that field.
