Part-timers may need assistance too

As I see the jobless rates so high and such a poor economy, I hope and pray for things to get better for all those people who are suffering.

Along with the unemployed people, I would like to add those who struggle holding down one, two or even three part-time jobs with no benefits into the mix. Part-timers can’t apply for unemployment benefits even when they lose their jobs.

Hopefully the president and Congress can add some benefits for part-time workers also. All people in the country should be served.
