A Leader's Perspective on Unemployment

This has been Unemployment Emphasis Week here at WRAF. We've teamed up with Crown Financial Ministries and have been sending out to those in our audience who are unemployed or underemployed The Unemployment Survival Guide. The response has been phenomenal!!

This morning I had the chance to talk with John Hull, president of Equip, about a leader's perspective on unemployment. To listen click here or scroll down.

Unemployment Emphasis Week

Today, over 14 million people are without jobs. Do you know one of them? Are you one of them? People all over are hurting and need encouragement. The Morning Show has teamed up with Crown Financial Ministries to bring hope and encouragement to many of these who are in need of help finding a job or their path in life. I had the chance to talk with Chuck Bentley, president and CEO of Crown, about this week of encouragement. To listen click here or scroll down.

A New Stimulus Plan

From the St. Petersburg Times-Sunday edition, Business Section. They asked their readers for ideas to fix the economy. Here's one that I like the best:

Dear Mr. President:
re: Patriotic Retirement

There are 40 million people over the age of 50 in the work force. Pay them $1 million apiece severance with three stipulations:

1. They leave their jobs. Forty million job openings - unemployment fixed
2. They buy NEW American cars. Forty million cars ordered - the automobile industry fixed
3. They either buy a new home or pay off their mortgage - the housing crisis fixed

All national problems fixed!

Sincerely,
A Fellow American

So, what do you think?
