For those that are willing there are many jobs available in many parts of the country. Many people receiving unemployment benefits have chosen to stay home and receive those benefits rather than work. Their reasoning is that those benefits in many cases pay more than the jobs available to them. That might be ok for a while but when those people that made that choice find themselves forced to find employment because the benefits have ended, the prospective employers will frown on the fact you chose not to work for an extended period of time.
My daughter who is a college graduate in dietetics had been working as a supervisor in the ski reservations area for a large ski resort company that had many ski resorts. She decided to work for the Census Bureau until she could find a less stressful job. When the Census job ended she began looking for employment. There were many jobs but not many that would pay much more than the minimum wage. She decided to lease a vehicle and work for a company that transports the elderly to appointments, does their grocery shopping , and is available to take them anywhere they want to go. She makes a decent wage and gets lots of tips. She has been selected as the employee with the most compliments several of the weeks she has been providing that service. She received a bonus for that award those weeks.
Clickbank has literally thousands of electronic systems and services in the “Marketplace”. People can find self help books that will be sent to them electronically for a reasonable price. There are a lot of services , like people finders, background checks, email locaters, and housesitting job directories available on Clickbank. I have purchased several items and have been pleased with most of them. A person can also receive a commission for selling any of the items on Clickbank. Those items can be sold by placing Bing ads at a small fee to Bing for the item you want to offer from Clickbank. There is free training by Bing and Microsoft on how to write and promote the ads. The person deposits money into their account and tells Bing what their daily limit for an ad is. For instance I set $20 a day as my limit, you are charged by the number of people that actually open your ad. When you set the ad up you put a hoplink in the Bing form and if the person purchases the item or service from your ad , you receive credit for it on the Clickbank payroll account. The person will receive payment every two weeks for any items sold from Clickbank. Each item a person wants to sell is called a campaign , I have several campaigns going at a time. This time of year house sitting and pet sitting has a lot of activity. If a person selects the vendor for that item that offers a catalog of those wanting house sitters or pet sitters and a list of those people offering their services for those assignments. There are codes to protect both the hiring people and the employee people until it is certain that they want to connect. Selecting items from Clickbank and listing them on a Bing Ad is something you can do from home and possibly make a little money. As a person gets better in selecting a vendor they want to promote they will make more money. Some people make a full time living doing just those simple procedures.
Doordash and the various food delivery services offer an opportunity to make money if you have a dependable car, a good driving record, and are willing to work evenings as well as days. Most of the food items for delivery occur between 5 P.M. and 10 P.M. so if a person does not want to work those hours as well as daytime hours, then they will probably not make it.
For someone wanting to investigate a new profession, installing laminate flooring is a high paying job in big demand in many cities. The installer for our laminate flooring hires helpers so he can complete the job quicker. He said most of his helpers don’t stay long, they can see how the installation is done and decide to go into business for themselves. Home Depot advertises that installation of laminate flooring is $3 a foot. Out installer charged $3 a foot and did 900 sq ft for a fee of $2700. It took him and two helpers 17 hours to do 900 sq ft. So you can see that is over $150 an hour. If he pays two helpers $15 an hour each that leaves $120 an hour for the contractor. Of course there is not always a job ready to go for laminate flooring every day but still it is high paying job that most men or women can master.
As you can see there are many avenues to explore to begin normalizing your income again if you find yourself unemployed or needing supplemental income.
Each day of the current Government Administration seems worse than the day before. I hope you will write and call your Congressman and Senators and ask them to insist President Biden complete the wall and close the border so the immigrants do not have to experience the discomfort and the people of this country are not stock with supporting them. Also encourage your Senators and Congressman to oppose eliminating the filibuster. Also insist that no way should they pack the Supreme Court. Our rights are being trampled on as racism is attached to everything they want to do and that is not the case for sure. The Second Amendment must be preserved for the protection of the American People. Tell your representatives there is no way the Electoral College should be eliminated. Do your part and asking your representatives to oppose those things. The Power Grab must be stopped before the country is completely destroyed.
