It really sucks up here in Connecticut, unemployment hit 9.1% last month. With Pratt and Whitney wants to bail out of this state along with Hamilton Sundstrand {Standard} Yesterday Marlin Firearms announced they are moving down south. The once thriving machine industries here is nearly gone , once even a few years ago you could walk in to any shop and get hired. I have over 25 years of manual and CNC aircraft machining experience. I got layed off 4/08 while I was on comp, I was cleared for work in 12/08 I'm still collecting UC there is no work what so ever here. I can find minimum wage job 40 hours of that I'll be taking another cut on money coming in, I have 20 weeks of UC left I praying for a job..........
