The Pope Is Praying For The Jobless & Less Fortunate.

Its nice to know the Pope has gathered millions in Rome to conduct a prayer for all those jobless and less fortunate. He urges the world in this global financial crisis to show more solidarity and to help those less fortunate. I love that our Pope can incorporate real issues into the Catholic church, realizing that the financial crisis requires more than money but kindness to everyone. I think this is a great Christmas lesson. If you're unemployed, at least you know the Pope has your back.

How Can You Find A Job And Pay Your Bills In A Recession?

You might be saying, well how is this relevant to being Italian American, its not--its just about being American. Things have taken a very strange turn in our economy and shades of Great Depression characteristics have shown their ugly head and tons or I should millions of Americans have lost their jobs.

Foreclosures are on the rise and everyone is simply struggling. If you have a job, you might be worried that it could be on the chopping block or just at risk. Either way, everyone is worried. I wanted to post a few resources for those of you in need of help or just looking for a job. Things are tough and the American Dream has taken a back seat in the past year, so remaining positive and having a little faith are our best weapons at this point.

You have to remember people like my father and mother came to this country in pursuit of the American Dream, they got it and we were living it. Now, we must pursue it again and make it come back to its utmost fruition. Lets start by helping each other. Here is a list of job resources that could help you in your search.

BREAKING NEWS, WE'RE OFFICIALLY IN A RECESSION.

Not so sure this is breaking news, but it was officially announced this morning by the The National Bureau of Economic Research, that the United States has been in a recession since December 2007. Call me crazy, by why are we learning about everything now? Couldn't this have been avoided, helped, analyzed, whatever...I mean really. We are up the creek that's for sure, and I think the paddles are sold separately.
