An Economic Lifeline for Seniors and Boomers

Posted on April 8th, 2009 by Iwaller

Keystone_Progress.JPGSeniors and Boomers may locate resources to assist them with a host of information to help them during this difficult economic climate.  Keystone Progress has championed a website that will make it easy to find local assistance for Unemployment Compensation Information, Nutritional Aid, Utility Assistance, Child Care, Emergency Medical Assistance and other information.  Simply click on the link below and enter your zip code in the middle of the page to access a wealth of resources.http://www.unemploymentlifeline.com

Michael Morrill with Keystone Progress – Unemployment at 8.5 percent. Record new unemployment claims. By one measure, unemployment and underemployment us at 15.6 percent and only 37 percent of unemployed workers are collecting unemployment benefits.

Hardworking families are struggling to get by, and too often, they don’t know where to turn for help.

That’s where the Unemployment LifeLine comes in. It’s a one-stop guide that links workers to the resources in their area, from unemployment offices to veterans’ services to child care. It also offers the opportunity to talk to others and share support and lessons learned.

We’re not stopping there, though. Today’s jobless workers need help now, and the Unemployment LifeLine is there to connect them with what they need. But if things are going to get better for all workers, we need to join together to push for more jobs, better jobs and a stronger economy. The Unemployment LifeLine will offer regular opportunities for action, empowering unemployed workers to make America’s economy work for all.

Working America, along with the Working America Education Fund, the AFL-CIO and the AFL-CIO’s Community Services staff, put this site together. With your help, it can keep growing. If you know of a resource that isn’t on the site, we want to know about it, to spread the word further.

But most importantly, tell your unemployed (and underemployed) friends and family about the Unemployment LifeLine. No one should be without the help they need, and no one should feel alone in a difficult time.
