"Am I done at 44? Is nobody going to want to hire me?" wonders Tim Zaneske from Michigan.

Most of America hears 'Fargo' and goes right to the award-winning Coen Brothers movie. A wood chipper, a bunch of "you betcha's" and auto salesman Jerry Lundegard's spiraling money problems.
In real life (you mean the movie was fiction?), North Dakota has the lowest unempl...

I just finished watching more than 2 hours of Sunday morning talk shows focusing on Egypt. It was a work out.

If you've been unemployed longer than you ever thought you would be, you're not alone. 43% of older unemployed workers have been without a job for more than a year.

I'm scratching my head again this week after reading two news items. They both have to do with the United States spending money overseas. They both point to the uphill battle facing the nation's millions of unemployed.

20" of snow also gives you a chance to read things along the highway. Like signs for work-at-home deals promising $2,000 a week. I'm smart enough to know better, but hopeful enough to wonder, "hmmm, could this be for real?"
