Unemployment

 The biggest problem in America is unemployment. Unemployment creates homelessness, poverty, welfare, and the list keeps going and going. Some ways to stop this are donating to charity or even staring your own charity.(1) Since I was born the unemployment rate has gone up in Maine from 3.2% to 8.5%. That means a little less than 5% of people don't have jobs. This problem also effects kids in many ways. How are they supposed to have money to go to school if their parents don't have the money to pay the fare?There are all these wonderfully smart children that can't get passed elementary school if their parents can't scrape together the money. So anyway, unemployment hurts people. It may even hurt you. Please help to protect your family and anyone else who needs it. Thank you!
