Topic:Should people get unemployment?
Hi, my name is Joe and I'm from the U.S. and my question is should people get unemployment? I think that, yes, people should get unemployment because of the bad economy. There would be so many people without anyway of paying for food, paying for shelter, paying for the things they need without unemployment so it's a very important social service. At the same time, I think the government in the U.S. needs to do more to stimulate the economy so more people can get jobs. In turn fewer people will need unemployment because right now it's a big debate in the U.S. about unemployment benefits, how long they should be and what we should do about the economic and unemployment problems.
