Yep, economy is improving all right. I think this is the group you need to work with to qualify for unemployment, and if so I wish they'd read the stuff people have to fill out before setting their robo-caller to call. The last four times, it has been a job that my husband did not meet the minimum requirements for, but he had to apply anyway. This just makes more work for businesses having to weed out employees that aren't even meeting minimum requirements. If I was an employer, I certainly wouldn't want to list a job there and have to do that. Also wish their robocaller spoke a little slower, if I happen to get the call instead of my husband theres no way to tell it to hold while I get him, and it speaks so fast I have trouble getting the reference number and my husband has to guess based on the partial number I do get.
