If you are reading this, you are likely one of the millions of Americans who are seeking good information on the important Tier 5 situation. Below, we provide an update on previous proposals, as well as a recent proposal.
- Is a Tier 5 unemployment extension still on the table?
- Is Congress paying attention to the 99ers?
- What are the current Tier 5 proposals?
Quick Background
If implemented, a Tier 5 would add additional weeks of unemployment benefits. To date, the previous extensions passed by Congress (including the December 2010 extension) have only extended eligibility for existing tiers, enabling you to receive up to a maximum of 99 weeks in most states. These extensions have helped millions, but have not provided any additional weeks for the hundreds of thousands of Americans who have already exhausted their benefits.
Previous Proposals
Americans Want to Work Act
Introduced by Senator Stabenow of Michigan, this bill would provide the following:
- An additional 20 weeks of benefits for people who have had their benefits expire, as long as the unemployment rate in your state is at least 7.5%.
- It would offer businesses a $2,000 tax break for hiring workers who have exhausted unemployment benefits.
As proposed, the bill would offer eligiblity retroactively, meaning that if you have already finished your previous tiers in recent months, you would still be eligibile.
Emergency Unemployment Compensation Extension Act
Introduced by Representative Berkley of Nevada, this is similar, but would apply to fewer states.
- Would provides an additional 20 weeks of benefits for people who have had their benefits expire, as long as the unemployment rate in your state is at least 10%.
Only a handful of states would meet the 10% unemployment rate threshold.
NEW Proposal
Representatives Barbara Lee (D-CA) and Bobby Scott (D-VA) have been working on a new bill that would help the 99ers. The proposal contains the following provisions:
- Provides 14 additional weeks of emergency unemployment compensation in Tier 1.
- These additional weeks will be available for those who have exhausted all their benefits (99ers and other exhaustees) as well as those who will be unemployed this year.
- This extension would be similar to the November 2009 extension, which provided additional weeks of benefits to Tier 2.
- Adding these extra weeks in Tier 1 makes them available for all long-term unemployed and not only those who live in a “high unemployment state.”
The latest that we have heard is that further discussions are likely to take place in early March.
Your Thoughts?
- What do you think about Tier 5?
- How many weeks should be added?
- Can Congress reach a solution?

Is Unemployment Really Improving?
American Jobs Act Update – December 2nd
Forbes Magazine listed seven reasons that recession is coming soon. I thought we are still in the midst of depression suffering as a result of the financial meltdown occurred in 2008. I guess that “recession” is referred as a reference to the current dire economic situation that we are currently in.
We are not in the middle of a depression you ignorant misguided slut.
Burger KIng has abandoned its iconic image of a guy smiling wearing a funny looking crown, a very long after MacDonald’s abandoned a funny looking clown with red lipstick on. Burger King charges $2.98 for a big french fries that can hardly be the size to get rid of my hungry appetite. Burger King mimicking MacDonald’s, selling coffee in a fancy cup like MacDonald, a very long after MacDonald’s changed its image and strategies targeting to coffee lovers. America is like japan, following footstep of Japan, like Burger King, it’s called “hyper-inflation.”
We do not have hyperinflation you ignorant, misguided slut.
We are already in the midst of market crash, but the economists say that the next wave of market crash is unavoidable. We are already in deep depression. What does another economic crash entails? A cataclysmic event is forthcoming?
We are not in the midst of a market crash you ignorant misguided slut.
It s u c k s to be me.
Me too. My life sucks hard!!
It looks like so many lives are devastated by the financial meltdown occurred n 2008. I fell asleep while watching “Untouchables” on PBS yesterday last night. Nobody in the Wall Street went to jail for abusing the financial system — this is a very demoralizing thing. After all, America is esteemed for taking accountability and yet so many people in the Walll Street took advantage and took off. The middle class Americans have become poor, hardly able to call themselves “middle class” any more. The America that we know of have been demoralized, it’s a pity.
I pity myself.
Don’t pity yourself – there is nothing to be pity about yourself. Like Nixon said, “Life is not just bowl of cherries.” If you found a rotten cherry in the bowl, just pick it up and throw it away. We all die wether riches have eaten too much cherries or poor person like you haven’t had enough cherries of your own. The America that we know of had its glory of half a century and it’s now following the footstep of Japan, a lost decade. Japan has now heading toward now 3rd decades of lost generations.
You all wish your life sucks as much as mine
Don’t be whining. Think of a brighter side. The sun has come out and we are heading to nice summer. Instead of sulking, go to Oklahoma and help out the people who are devastated by the wind. The people in the Oklahoma is suffering real bad; they may not have houses where mortgagers and bankers going after them because their houses have been blown away by the wind. When the mortgagers come, they could say to the mortgagers that the house is all yours now. Do u think that that would be pissing off the mortgagers? No, the mortgagers have been pissing off the middle income families with no remedies, and they never thought that they were pissing off the homeowners. “Take the house, It’s all yours now.”
Is there any yellow book titled “Idot’s guide to 99ers?” I still don’t know how to respond when someone asks me, “What do u do for living?”

What does ASS certified means?
Does the mechanic should be able to blow a big fart that can rattle a wrench on a toolbox?
It means just what it says proctologist, ass inspector

Is being a 99er partly blamed for having to do with Iraq and Afhganistan wars that G. Bush had engaged? He must had used toe government money to go to war draining out money, that would have kept the economy alive.
99ers did not exist in 2001 and the government does not have money “We the People” own the money. The government EMPLOYEES are, OUR representative, however we the people are gradually having our freedoms taken away.
Does Democrats doing enough work to regain the freedoms that have been taken away?
Hiya! I just wish to give a huge thumbs up for the nice info you have right
here on this post. I might be coming again to your
blog for extra soon.
It goes without saying 99 you will be back
but under which name?
I am a braying jackass.
I had to look that word up 99, generally I speak more on the quiet side waiting for someone to mess up, The animal part is true
dont vote democrat or republican again.
Both democrats and Republicans would not be able to drive us out from this economic quagmire, but republicans would have put us into another war, perhaps, with Iran, and, by now, they would have kept on saying the rhetoric like G. Bush did, “We gotta kick the ass of Ahamadinejad, Ahmadinejad.”
Is quagmire the one on family guy?
Isn’t all the bombs and arsenals that have been manufactured have to be consumed in one form or the other? Don’t they have expiration date? Can the bombs be kept in storage for hundred years and still be used? A thought pass through my mind this morning as to frivolity of human works; 99 years old men and women are fed and nourished by doctors and nurses 24/hrs day and 365 days/year, days and nights to sustain their lives, feeding medicines and changing their dippers….young lives are sacrificed for sustaining their lives that would have been dead naturally much earlier with no bothering others hundred years ago.
Are you talking about 99isenough? he is only in his fifties
dont ever vote democrat or republican again.
You just don’t generate the responses anymore 99isenough. It is over move on
Another crash of market is imminent. The rich has become stinky rich, but their rich did not trickled down. The rich don’t care about the middle class people who have become poor. I want market crash to obliterate all the riches so that there won’t be rich or poor, but instead we are all rich or poor. Let the market crash real bad this time, I mean real, REAL bad so that there won’t be people who go starving or having to worry about paying mortgage or bills. When winter comes, spring is around the corner, but the dark dinky depression is still looming over our head with no uplifts, instead we hear that another dark glob of cloud is moving this way to pour torrential rain; the poor people in America will get pissed again.
So basically you think we should live like people did in the middle ages? No industry, just surfs working for the King (not 99isenough)never owning land or property.? That is exactly what the ultra rich want. Speculation is the potato blight in Ireland was man made because the people ate too much.
Tax and beat the poor. Most of world history has been that way, ultra rich and poverty poor. Why don’t you go visit a couple of third world countries and see how that is?
All I am asking crony capitalism be over and new kind of capitalism be established where the gap between the rich and poor is narrow. The way to get rid of the crony capitalism requires government intervention letting the free market take over let the mortgage companies and banks take its natural courses for their survivals, which would be stepping into new door of this new kind of capitalism. The government bailed out banking and auto industries, which means we are going back to crony capitalism, to the same mode of kissing asses of the riches. The financial meltdown should lends a new paradigm in capitalism, the old should be abandoned and new kind be established. The government should stand on the side of middle income family, which mean control the power of riches in order to make the middle income families to survive. The current crony capitalism is not sustainable.
WE ARE ALL DOOMED!!!!!
THE SKY IS FALLING!!!!!! WE’RE ALL GONNA DIIIEEEEE!!!!!!!!
The economists say that another stock crash is imminent. The housing bubbles have burst and there is nothing else to burst. So, in the event that stock crash, I wonder what the outcome will be. Already, the financial meltdown in 2008 caused a great havoc in the economy with millions of people losing their jobs and housing values have fallen down precipitously. Would the next wave of economic sunami topple over those banks and mortgages that have been bailed out” Woudl the next wave of economic sunami will cause shedding millions of government jobs that are known for not laying off? Would the next wave of econmic sunami will send millions of people out on the street protesting like Greece? Would the next sunami will bring the Occupy Wall Street people back on to Wall Street?

The Tech Crash: The Bubble Pops
From that heyday in the spring of 2000, prospects for the “dot-com industry” looked magnificent – until the bubble popped.
One signature event came on April 3, when a federal court declared Microsoft a monopoly. The aftershock sent NASDAQ tumbling all the way to 3,649 before bouncing back slightly to 4,223. NASDAQ, the home for most tech companies, quickly 10% in value; over the next year, losses would accelerate even further.
Over the next few years, vast numbers of dot-coms went under. AOL merged with Time Warner in what would later be viewed as a debacle, jump-starting the gradual and shocking decline of AOL from its position as the world’s leading internet service provider to a company that now just delivers online content with net income of a mere $13 million a year.
From March, 2000 to October, 2002, the stock market as a whole lost roughly $5 trillion in market value. This helped to spark a recession that lasted eight months and shrank GDP by 0.3%. Of course, some of this is attributable to the terrorist attacks on September 11, 2001, but the bursting of the tech bubble put an end to a decade of continual and rampant economic growth in the U.S.
Has the exporting manufacturing jobs in the U.S. been done voluntarily as a result of dot com bubbles developments no longer needing manufacturing for profit generation or was it carried out promoting foreign governments to buy U.S. bonds in exchange for the jobs? What if bond market fail in the U.S.? Is it secured by the U.S. government such that its values will never go down for the foreign government safeguard their investment values? Or fluctuates like stocks. What if it goes down and become no value? Would the foreign government get pissed and engage in a war?
A renouned economist Nouriel Roubini recently said that tocks aren’t in bubble territory as yet, but a “huge rally in risk assets” over the next two years puts markets in danger of a big crash.
And another economist, Roche, who has previously warned that “safe haven” government bonds are the most dangerous place for investors to be in, said Wednesday: “Yes it [a financial crisis] will happen and yes, it will be bigger [than the credit crisis]. Once you re-price the burden of the world’s debt… the ugly truth will be revealed.”
Let’s fasten our seat belt and get ready for a big plunge AGAIN. This time, the wave will be much bigger. EVERYBODY, get READY. The economists have warned, and the big sunami of falling dollar value will follow.
Burger King is not doing good job nowadays; they are losing customers to MacDonald;s. For the first time in two years, I went to Burger King with a coupon that gives a free Whopper Jr. when I buy a large French Fries. Well, their large Fries paper holder is made such that the bottom part very narrow making the fries fall out as they were shoved in; the guy made lots of motion pretending that he is giving much but what I ended up was little. They charge this large size fries $2.79. I could get that fries for $1.00 at MacDonald’s. No wonder Burger King and Dunkin Donuts are losers in fast food chain.
That little comment I made about stopping public schools from becoming a privatized for profit industry was CHANGED and stopped by a few hundred people with petitions and protest. The Jewish owned for-profit industry runs the DCF programs here, forcing people to have services they do not need or want. One of the biggest targets-Unemployed and/or homeless with kids
For profit means, money from the government paid for by taxpayers. Teachers have had tremendous cuts and their hands tied, yet if your child is failing the “government” will pay huge amounts for free private company tutoring, instead of giving it to public school teachers. Hundreds of millions in Florida for “services” each year.
Listening to you poor, stupid bastards whining about something you cannot change is always entertaining. You could always vent your frustrations like Graham does by m a s t e r b a ti n g. Happy times you whiners! !!
Finally a lucid comment from 99isenough. I have no idea why this site is still open? Obviously someone must be making money from the ads. I guess you consider all news broadcast or any learning a waste of time especially history?
People like you can not change anything because you do not try. It is a good thing other people get involved otherwise you would not have Social Security, Welfare etc. Someone changes the world everyday, not you though too busy whining about how nothing can be changed.
Millions of screaming 99whiners didn’t get a tier 5, did they?
Did millions actually scream? or just a few? Did you decide to use your better than average brain for something constructive or just sit around feeling sorry for yourself, criticizing others. (The path of least resistance) It is faaaar easier to complain than be an active part of change and resistance to abuse and tyranny.
If 25 million people actually banded together you could bet there would be a tier 5. You 99isenough could still do something with yourself. Maybe you could be like me and fix toilets for rich people.
Ever watch the videos of kids breaking things? it only takes a second or two to be destructive, but it takes hours or days to build the same item. Easier to destroy than to build
All the articles said the 99ers were millions strong. And even if thers were 25 million screaming for more free money, they still wouldn’t get any.
I guess we’ll never know. The biggest petition I ever saw was only a few thousand. I have never seen anything regarding protest even close to a million. Does “millions strong” mean millions out of work?
Doesn’t matter there will be no Tier five
I’ve heard that China is consume about half of pork and crop productions in the world threatening world in shortage of food. If developing of Chinese economy is creating world hunger and dwindling jobs in the U.S. It is not all that good thing then. The world would have been much a better place U.S. give crops cheap or free to the 3rd worlds. Shouldn’t the economists had developed strategies not to export jobs out of the U.S.? Was there any bargain between the the U.S. government and Chinese government to exchange jobs for buying bonds for the U.S.? How could jobs be exported so so fast and manufacturing crumbled down so soon in the U.S.? Where is the U.S. patriotism?
I already told you that in 1976 India was producing wrenches along with other items, why are you stuck on 2008? as I said it take many, many, many years for an economic collapse this bad.
Do you think that large American industry built huge plants in India and China and? all in 1 day It took DECADES to put these job taking industries into full production. Hello anybody home. How much were you paid?
My bad take was supposed to say tooked such bad granma
The inflation of the 1970s was terrible. There was a mix of a high demand and a low supply of things such as jobs, houses, cars etc. The reason for this high inflation was because no one wanted to take office as the Federal Reserve chairman. Also many people under estimated the effects of the inflation problems. No one really had a mandate to stop the inflation either. So what happened was that the prices kept on rising and rising. Another thing that caused inflation was that the investors and creditors had no confidence in the bank system. The lack of credibility and commitment cause inflation to rise. The three main reasons toward inflation are as follows.
1: The United States had a burst of inflation in the 1970s because until the 1980s no influential policy makers until Paul Volcker became Chairman of the Federal Reserve who placed a sufficiently high priority on stopping inflation.
2: The policies of the 1960s left economic policy makers of the 1970s with painful dilemmas. They were “Dealt with bad cards” These “bad cards” mixed with bad luck led to high inflation.
3: The last cause was that the great depression made it hard to believe that the business cycle was a fluctuation around rather than a shortfall below potential output and potential employment.
Another reason for the poor economy was the high unemployment. The high unemployment was a result of the women work force and a combination of returning soldiers from Vietnam. In 1869 the employment was around 80 million workers. By the end of the 70s, it was more than 96 million workers. This was an increase of over 16 million more workers. It went from 3.3 percent unemployment to around 8 percent unemployment, nearly reaching another depression.
The economy of the seventies was terrible. Dubbed with an oil embargo and a mix of other problems led the American nation to an almost depression state. The energy shortage was the start followed by high unemployment and inflation. The economy of the US during the seventies was a hard time for everybody in America. It wasn’t good and it just got worse and worse until the 80s.
Each depression seems to be worse than the one before
Yet we still count on foreign oil. Follow the money
This board is a good place to air out frustrations in downturn of the economy. I wonder how people relieved their frustrations back then during the Great Depression when there was no internet or telephones? ripping off books? ripping off magazines? pulling hair? beating dogs?
Never heard of Black Tuesday when people were committing suicide jumping out of windows?
They did have telephones as well as tickertape machines and do not forget Western Union Telegrams like this – Lost Everything. (stop)Going to Jump (stop) Bye (stop)
We live in the Great Depression (stop)
Not sure if they had magazines? I think Playboy came out in the late 50s
In the late 20s I think the Farmers Almanac and Sears was the standard pornographic method of fantasy? maybe even Montgomery Wards? How about when National Geographic came out?
LOL, Without Playboy it was already a pretty depressive situation for young boys and single men aside from the Great Depression itself.
You have to also consider the moral fiber of the era, church was mandatory and drinking was a sin. Masturbating made you go blind or senile (another joke)
How can Farmers Almanac and Sears be sources of fantasy? I think by 20′s photography was well developed and people had access to nude pictures even well before the advent of Playboy.
Most nude pictures (I think) were difficult and expensive to legally obtain, however the models of women posing in undergarments was available publicly in the catalogues. As far as the Farmers Almanac that was mostly a joke unless predictions of a good growing year are exciting.?
Of course I do not mean 1st floor windows, that would just give you a headache
“Relieving” precludes sustainability of lives, not ending lives.
Good thing we don’t live in India, huh? Oh, by the way, how is that tier 5 thing doing? I told you 99weeks WAS enough!!!!
Any place that has cheeseburgers must be a good place?
In 1976 when I was in college, (cheeseburger college) I bought a set of wrenches to work on my car. I was surprised at how inexpensive they were. I took them out of the box and they were made in India, did I say it was 1976? Hard to believe that was five years ago.
Driving 300 miles each way tomorrow to a country called Georgia? I have a job interview, hoping to move up to making pizza, since I just finished pizza college. Tired of this job, but it pays the bills. Don’t tell anyone at work why I am going.
I know it is a long ride each day.
I only have a map of Florida so when I finally get to Georgia I will have to ask them for directions. I hope they speak Floridian.
Syria might be nice, they gas people there too
Maybe I can meet Ray Charles (stop) or at least see his memorial statue (stop)
Ignorance is bliss. Keep pretending the 2% want America to be a strong independent country again. America made them rich and now they are done with us.
My gas and electricity bill is way too high. The American energy companies charge way too high to its customers. The CEO’s of the energy companies are no different from CEO’s of banks and mortgage companies; they basically rip off the customers and their salaries are wicked high around 15 million dollars per year. Are CEO’s becoming modern era of slave owners sucking off the blood of ordinary people?
Ever see the salary of the CEO at Mickey Mouse World. Who do you think owns and finances utility companies.? Sure almost anyone can buy into them but the initial investment has strong backing
Why the term “1% riches” have surfaced only recently? The 1$ riches have existed in the U.S. all along but my impression had been such that they would at least conceal their greediness, not to the point of causing financial meltdown creating economic havoc in the century. What is their entitlement to become so rich at the sacrifices of ordinary citizen risking ruins of basic foundation upon we stood all along? Are they smart 100 times more? Do they have empathy toward their employees losing jobs or exporting the jobs?
Mass media and internet
In 2003 banks started to put people into foreclosure without even reviewing their files or offering alternatives. the main reason given was that they were “too busy” to review your case. 5 years ago hah hah
The only alternative to avoid foreclosure is paying on your mortgage.
or if your lucky maybe you can inherit one? Food or mortgage? tough one
How about kidnapping a mortgager or a banker?
I saw a movie like that once, don’t think it worked out well, they ended up with a higher interest rate and longer terms
So the bankers and mortgagers would have already known that financial disaster (meltdown) will happen well in advance for they themselves know that they were not doing their homework properly.
I already said it was deliberate.
too many people making over $25 an hour to do nothing

Compete with this America
Outside waiting in line for a job are hundreds of people hoping someone will get hurt, so they can take their place. The stamping press does not stop if someone has their neck broken
Reminds me of the early industrial age when 6 year olds climbed into running machinery to clean them. How about sending 6 year olds physically into chimneys to clean them. That was before Mary Poppins, anyone want a job in China? Wonder why we lost our jobs to China, India etc.?
Go Congress with low import tariffs, what is that annoying sucking sound in the background? must be the sound of jobs leaving America, think it can be fixed guess again, 2%ers do not want it fixed. 5 years ago LOL
Remember this? Compete with this America
The Bhopal disaster, also referred to as the Bhopal gas tragedy, was a gas leak incident in India, considered the world’s worst industrial disaster.[1] It occurred on the night of 2–3 December 1984 at the Union Carbide India Limited (UCIL) pesticide plant in Bhopal, Madhya Pradesh. Over 500,000 people were exposed to methyl isocyanate gas and other chemicals. The toxic substance made its way in and around the shantytowns located near the plant.[2] Estimates vary on the death toll. The official immediate death toll was 2,259.
5 years ago hah, hah these people died to supply America with cheap products and huge profits. Anyone mad yet? Still wondering where the jobs went and why people are out of work.
Answer: horrendous conditions in third world countries created by Banks and Big Industry ALL FOR PROFIT think industry is coming back to America when huge companies can treat people like they are nothing and life is meaningless. Guess again America – wake up
Want something more recent?
by Karen Thomson
They hold up pictures of loved ones still lost following the collapse of the textiles factory in Bangladesh that has killed over 400 workers.
More than 2,500 people were injured following the collapse and more than 150 still remain unaccounted for. The hospitals are over capacity with victims suffering crush injuries and the families searching for loved ones.
Mass graves are being dug to cope with the risk of disease from the decomposed bodies in the sweltering sun.
Anyone want to work in India besides 99isenough?
Predicting economic collapse? hah hah when did it recover?
Any job is a good job
Time for 99isenough to get out of bed and get off welfare and move to India, maybe then he will appreciate what it is like to lose everything and not be entertained by people who have worked all their life and lost everything. Not everyone wants to live off the government like 99isenough.
Safety regulations do not exist in third world countries, industry considers these people “collateral damage” bean counters figure it is a good risk. Hold your breath for this type job to come back to America or Europe (payoff is key) How about womens rights- HUH – just payoff the person complaining about their CHILD being raped or you could always stone the child or make them marry the rapist,
Think jobs are coming back? Maybe the Patriot act will shut you up. FEMA camps here we come. Florida just narrowly stopped making public schools a FOR PROFIT industry (the same people who kidnap YOUR children for profit (DCF) it is run by Jewish people here in this county Remind you of anything in history (NAZIS)30 plus million a year in Florida and only one in ten real cases. Wake up America Germany never did
“Ha ha ha” – I can understand your laughs. When did the economy recover? The economy has been in ditch. The media is giving fool’s notion that somehow economy has managed to recover by not being less freaky about it as it had been around the time of the meltdown in 2008. I haven been feeling the surge of warm air; there is no phone calls looking to hire people – It has been all quite and dead all along.
I don’t think any job is a good job for 99ers. For those 99ers who had been earning abouve $25/hr can not work for $8/hr with no respect and crappy working environments.
That is everyone’s choice earn nothing or earn $8hr see who lasts the longest and who is more likely to get hired into a better job. Not many companies hire anyone who has been out of work for a while. Many people were overpaid anyway, that also greatly added to the economic collapse.
Respect is earned by respect not by how much you make. I have respect for anyone who is trying to take care of their family no matter what they do, but little or no respect for someone who will not work just because it is not air conditioned or doesn’t pay much.
Do u know that there are companies even pay less than $8.00/hr? How far can you go down? If you were making $60/hr, can you do worse kind of work for $5/hr night shift in a sweat shop with no vacation and sick time that you used to have? No problem for you? There are companies taking advantage of people in this downturn in economy. I like working in warm place, so air conditioned is not necessary. “doesn’t pay much?” How much not much? $5/$60 = 1/12 of what you used to make? Can you take it?
It is illegal to pay below minimum wage anyone who made $60 an hour would have enough education to read and write correctly and be able to understand basic things such as minimum wage. How far do you go down? Nothing from nothing leaves nothing.
If you like warm places like but cracks you should love sweat shops
You forgot to mention that the sweat shop is built on an old chemical dump and has radioactive material seeping up from the dirt floor, people have their hair falling out and women with children have to strap them to their back while working on their feet all day. At least on night shift the sweat shop is a little less sweaty. Funny stuff
The biggest hinderance to achieving true sense of democratic country is because of monetary system. Under this system, everything is run by money and people would not give up due to their illusional effects of the money. The government is not interested in the welfare of its people but it wants to perpetuate crony capitalism. For our future generations, we need to fix the crony capitalism so that majority of people in the country can lead happy lives, not being sacrificed by the crony capitalism. i.e. mortgage debt, credit cards debts.
