Job Hunters in Lawrence County For those individuals who have recently entered the job market after years of steady employment the method of finding jobs and applying for them has drastically changed. Many companies no longer accept paper applications nor visits to their offices to apply for what jobs are available. In this day and age many employers expect prospective employees to be computer savvy and the easiest method to weed out those who are not is to only accept applications on a company website or through an outside employment service. To receive unemployment benefits in the state of Indiana now requires an individual to seek employment from three different potential employers in a given week. One of those potential employers must accept an application for the individual to remain in compliance to receive weekly unemployment benefits. This may be a daunting task for individuals who do not have computers or internet service providers as well as those who consider themselves to be computer illiterate. Job seekers should keep in mind that the local Work One office has computers available to the unemployed. The local public libraries also have computers available. Individuals in both locations should be able to obtain assistance with operating a computer if needed. Please be aware that many company web sites or job search engines require a resume to be uploaded or have the ability to copy and paste into their website. By having one prepared beforehand saves time in applying for multiple jobs at one sitting. A partial list of online web sites to aide in the job search are listed below:* http://careers.msn.com http://www.heraldtimesjobs.com http://www.indeed.com http://www.snagajob.com http://www.employmentplus.com http://www.cookmedical.com/jobs.do http://www.usajobs.gov/ http://tsiin.com/careers.html http://www.inkyjobs.com/ http://www.in.gov/spd/ http://www.americasjobexchange.com/Register https://www.indianacareerconnect.com/ * Please note that the above websites are merely suggestions to aide in the job search. With research an individual is likely to find many more available. **To aide others in their job searches, readers might want to include additional websites in their responses to this article.

Indiana Unemployment Down - Lawrence County Up - Compared to Area

Written by Sophia Frazier
Friday, 30 October 2009
The Unemployment Rate For the month of September 2009, Indiana’s unemployment rate was 9.6% which was a decrease of 1.1% over the previous 3 months. The national unemployment rate for September according to the US Bureau of Labor Statistics was at 9.7%. Among the states, Michigan ranked at number one in unemployment with 15.2%, while North Dakota held the lowest unemployment rate at 4.3% in August (latest figure available at press time). According to the Indiana Department of Workforce Development, “Indiana has the lowest unemployment rate of its neighboring states. Illinois increased 0.5 percent to 10.5 percent. Ohio's unemployment rate decreased 0.7 percent to 10.1 percent. Kentucky decreased 0.3 percent to 10.9 percent. Michigan increased 0.1 percent to 15.3 percent. Indiana's unemployment rate stood at 6.1 percent in September 2008.” Currently Lawrence County has an unemployment rate of 11.1%. This unemployment rate compares to percentage rates in the following counties: Monroe 5.6, Orange 9.2, Jackson 10.1, Washington 11.2, Greene 7.1 and Martin at 6.3 percent. This places Lawrence County ranking at #23 for highest unemployment rates statewide. None of these figures account for those unemployed individuals who are no longer looking for work or those that are currently underemployed or only working part-time. The unemployment figures would be significantly higher if those numbers were calculated into the unemployment rate for September. Lawrence Countians should consider themselves lucky if they are currently employed.

In an effort to help people waste as much time as possible, two new folders have been added to the Fun & Games section: Action Games and Puzzle Games. Both of these folders contain several new games, and high score saving should work in most of them.

Not all of the games have been tested, so if you encounter a problem with a game please let us know.

If you have never visited our Fun & Games section, it is a collection of many games from traditional casino games like Blackjack to the very popular "Cone Crazy" driving game. To start having fun, click one of the links in this story, or click "Fun & Games" on the left-side menu.
