At a time when the official unemployment rate is nearing double digits, and 6.35 million people are receiving unemployment benefits, the U.S. government is on a hiring binge. Executive branch employment 1.98 million in 2009, excluding the Postal Service and the Defense Department is set to increase by 15.6 percent for the 2010 fiscal year. Counting benefits, the average pay per federal worker will leap from $72,800 in 2008 to $75,419 next year. Some of the Feds' hiring increases have been stunning. If you look at the four-year period from 2006 to 2010, the number of Homeland Security employees has grown by 22 percent, the Justice Department has increased by 15 percent, and the Nuclear Regulatory Commission can claim 25 percent more employees.

I have been unemployed now since June and it has become so hard to not beat myself up mentally on a daily basis. I even thought about going back into the Military. That's like breaking back into prison but I don't know what else to do; I need help. My car was taken away from me and they might as well have taken my life with it. I am in debt, not bad though, maybe like 6 or 7 thousand which I know compared to others is not as bad but it is still enough to put me behind every month that I ma not working. I have been to so many restaurants and types of establishments like those but they do not want a 29 year old male. They want a 20 year old female, and I understand that. I don't know what else to do; I try to keep my head but it is hard when you have had set backs. If anyone can help me with any type of advice or anything like that I would appreciate it.
