True/Slant

But in the magically shrinking media industry buyouts apparently qualify as evidence of “lack of work” qualifying me thus for unemployment insurance. A couple of weeks ago I received a letter informing me of an appointment at something called the Workforce 1 Career Center in New York City at an unfathomable 8:45 a. “Failure to keep this appointment may result in the termination of your benefits” the letter said. I failed to keep the appointment.

WIN employees are city employees. Russell said WIN and the ffice of Youth Services and Community affairs which administered the Summer Youth Employment Program were unprepared to handle the stimulus money and resulting massive influx of kids. For years the youth employment program supplied summer work for 300 to 400 young people. This year the city received $4.
