This information just adds to anxiety.The problem , too well known! Let put forth this idea and actionStart your on business, employ yourself, use your talent,gifts, and skilll to start making your own income.Check out a service, that people are putting to use by the thousands, that you can benefit from info at www.juniques.wsAmazing what $10 a month can do!!!!These are real people have real financial problem, yet, they are stuck with one answer to a problem.Get another job!!!! Go through this again!!!Enough I say!!!!You can not rise from your problem with the same level of thinking, that got you there!!!!Make a change.Join thousands of others who are making a change for the better.Check out www.juniques.wsFears grow as millions lose U.S. jobless benefitsOn Wednesday July 14, 2010, 1:35 am EDTBy Nick CareyCINCINNATI (Reuters) - Deborah Coleman lost her unemployment benefits in April, and now fears for millions of others if the Senate does not extend aid for the jobless."It's too late for me now," she said, fighting back tears at the Freestore Foodbank in the low-income Over-the-Rhine district near downtown Cincinnati. "But it will be terrible for the people who'll lose their benefits if Congress does nothing."For nearly two years, Coleman says she has filed an average of 30 job applications a day, but remains jobless."People keep telling me there are jobs out there, but I haven't been able to find them."Coleman, 58, a former manager at a telecommunications firm, said the only jobs she found were over the Ohio state line in Kentucky, but she cannot reach them because her car has been repossessed and there is no bus service to those areas.After her $300 a week benefits ran out, Freestore Foodbank brokered emergency 90-day support in June for rent. Once that runs out, her future is uncertain."I've lost everything and I don't know what will happen to me," she said.my comment:The Jobless Problem is not Destined, There is a $10 monthly option to change these stats. go to www.juniques.wsThe recession -- the worst U.S. downturn since the 1930s -- has left some 8 million people like Coleman out of work.Unemployment has remained stubbornly high at around 9.5 percent. According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, in June 6.8 million people or 45.5 percent of the total are long-term unemployed, or jobless for 27 weeks or more.Before the recession began in late 2007, the unemployed received benefits, usually a few hundred dollars a week, for 26 weeks or around six months after losing their jobs.Under the federal/state programs, which are administered by state governments and partly funded by taxes on business, only full-time workers are eligible for benefits. Within federal guidelines, benefits and eligibility vary from state to state.As the downturn left more Americans out of work for longer periods, Congress voted to provide funding to extend benefits to as long as 99 weeks in some areas.Some critics say this adds to the country's large fiscal deficit, and may even discourage job-seeking.my comment:The Jobless Problem is not Destined, There is a $10 monthly option to change these stats. go to www.juniques.wsFOOD BANKS FEAR STRAINAn attempt to pass another extension has become bogged down in partisan political bickering in the Senate. Relief agencies fear that failure to extend benefits will strain their resources and may worsen the U.S. housing crisis."This will put a great deal of stress and strain on our organization, which has already been working hard," said Vicki Escarra, chief executive of Feeding America, which has a network of more than 200 food banks. In the year ended June 30, Feeding America distributed 3 billion pounds (1.36 billion kg) of food, a 50 percent increase over the past two years.my comment:The Jobless Problem is not Destined, There is a $10 monthly option to change these stats. go to www.juniques.wsThe benefits debate has pitted the majority of Democrats against most Republicans and some conservative Democrats.When the House of Representatives passed a $34 billion benefit extension on July 1, 11 fiscally conservative Democrats voted against it.The Senate may take up the issue again in mid-July, but Republicans like Senator Tom Coburn have argued any extension must be paid for with cuts elsewhere."Even then he (Coburn) is not sure if that's a good idea," said John Hart, a spokesman for the Oklahoma senator. "The longer the unemployed have benefits, the less incentive there is to find a job."Most economists argue that cutting benefits could slow recovery, describing benefits as direct economic stimulus because almost every penny of it gets spent. In a June 28 client note, Goldman Sachs said if all additional U.S. stimulus spending expires, it could slow the economy up to 1.5 percentage points from the fourth quarter 2010 to the second quarter of 2011.The note added that extending unemployment benefits and a $400 tax credit would "substantially mitigate" that impact.my comment:The Jobless Problem is not Destined, There is a $10 monthly option to change these stats. go to www.juniques.ws3 MILLION CUT OFF IN TWO MONTHSDuring the Senate impasse, from the week ended June 5 to the week ended July 10, more than 2.1 million Americans lost their benefits. Another million will join them by July 31.In Ohio alone, where unemployment stood at 10.7 percent in May, more than 83,000 people lost their benefits in June.Sister Barbara Busch, executive director of non-profit housing group Working in Neighborhoods in Cincinnati, 65 percent of the people who come seeking help with their mortgages are unemployed or underemployed."I fear once the benefits run out, I suspect we'll see a new wave of foreclosures," she said. "I just hope I'm wrong."Ohio is a bellwether U.S. state in elections. The state's Democratic attorney general Richard Cordray said blocking extending jobless benefits was politically motivated ahead of the midterm elections in November."If people lose their benefits they will blame the congressional majority and the administration," he said. "As unappetizing as it is, that would appear to be the strategy."Senator Coburn's spokesman Hart said suggestions the Republicans were playing partisan politics were "ludicrous.""The Democrats say that because they want to avoid making the hard decisions," he said.Alonzo Allen, 55, a former aid agency worker in Cincinnati whose benefits will run out in September, spends two days a week volunteering at the food bank in Over-the-Rhine and the other three looking for work. He said he worries about the one-bedroom apartment he rents and how he will feed his dog Ginger, who is the "only family I have.""If the benefits stop, I'll be out on the street and I'll lose all my furniture," he said. "That's going to be tough."my comment:The Jobless Problem is not Destined, There is a $10 monthly option to change these stats. go to www.juniques.ws(Editing by Eric Walsh)

SERIES - 001sponsored by : www.jusmcc.org creating your financial legacyNo other recent recent economic crisis better illustrates the term "When America catches a cold, African America gets a pneumonia" then the subprime mortgage meltdown. Family financial assets play a key role in poverty reduction, social mobility, and securing middle class melt-down. With a gloomy future and an unemployment rate of 30%, the highest since the great-depression, how can Blacks continually look for jobs that are not there.We are becoming a nation in the US that you will be either self-employed or unemployed. There is no longer something in between. It is projected that buy 2011, Africans Americans buying power will increase to over trillions of dollars. Still yet today only 3% of those dollars actual help the black communities. What has happened to reason? Certainly every child that grows up will not be a rapper or sports player. Why are we so focused on materialistic things rather then assets of value.Although we have come a long way but still lag to far behind on financial stability compared to other cultures. But could it be that someone has broken the "Financial Code" for blacks and if so how do we as a people change the mindset to promoting, empowering, educating, nurturing lifting up Black Business Owners.The vehicle of change is called the African American Connection and Visionary and Activist Charles Bowlds has broken the Code to the financial failures in the Black Community! Corporate Affiliate and Marketing Strategist, Carolyn Simmons of E-Business Solutions along with others create the spark, and starts the engine of a hidden treasure that now has come out of hiding! As she debates politics and and stirs a vigorous conversation on what the African American Connection, one realizes and is surely intrigued by her aggressiveness on the subject while being a delight as she speaks with soul and conviction on these pressing issues.GET MORE INFO AT WWW.JUSMCC.ORGEMAIL: JUNIQUES@YAHOO.COM

AAC breaks the "Code" to the Financial Failures In the African American Community.

Posted by Rickey on January 16, 2010 at 9:26am

JUNIQUES MULTICULTURAL CONNECTIONS IS PROUD TO ANNOUNCE THE INTRODUCTION OF THE AFRICAN AMERICAN CONNECTION E COMMERCE. HERE IS LETTER FROM THE CEO OF E BUSINESS SOLUTIONS"Epiphanysoul"Black Visionary and Activist; Charles Bowlds breaks the "Code" to the Financial Failures In the African American Community".Introducing the AAC's EBusiness Solution's CEO; Carolyn Simmonshttp://www.jusmcc.org click here to check out AACBorn in Beaufort, SC to a single mother who was the first black school bus driver in the county and a woman who always put education first, I was anointed and blessed to have such a strong-willed,powerful and loving women who gave me everything.My mother left Beaufort at an early age to better herself and to pursue her education. She moved to Portland, MA and she sent for me four years later. My mother was determined to show me that independence would carry me many days in my life. I can say that I truly had the best and went to the best public schools.My mother involved me in music at an early age as well as many other activities. Although we lived in the north, economic slavery and discrimination were still very real for most Blacks. Even though my mother faced a lot of racism, she never brought her sorrows and frustrations home to me. She was and still is today the strongest women I know even with her disability. As a small child I never knew what discrimination was even though there were days when incidents would occur. It wasn't until moving back home to Beaufort in the seventies did I begin to realize what the great migration to the north was about.We Blacks have always been last in having the freedoms, rights, justice, and the so called "American Dream". So my life trials and pains of watching and understanding what my family and others have went through for so many years, molded me and gave me determination to a lifelong dream of empowering my people. I have always had a love for and always sought to find the vehicle that would help us break the generational curse of poverty, hopelessness and financial death. After going through and being in many different companies, groups, organizations that I thought would break the "Code", of financial disparity in the black community and watching the collapse of Wall Street, I had received a call from Charles about the company I watched him grow five years ago.That vehicle is the African American Connection. http://www.jusmcc.org click here to check out AACWe often complain about and debate about the forty acres and a mule and why blacks our always last to succeed but no one really broke the "Code". One thing we as blacks must realize is that for to long we have looked to others to in some way confirm who we are as a people. We've measured ourselves not by the characteristics of who we are and what God has blessed us with but we believe we are not worthy unless other cultures validate us. Not only am I humbled and grateful but I'm truly excited about the capability and the sureness of this company to be one of the pillars that will help us through the toughest of times.Charles has showed that in the AAC we don't have to be politically correct and we should be proud of our Afro Centric Views and Values. The African American Connection in my opinion demands and requests the true spirit and values of the Black community. It stirs in us a sense of pride, strength and worthiness’, as well as empowers the entrepreneurial spirit that is a part of our DNA. It allows us (without penalty), to learn the value of having our own business.It is the vehicle to which the prerequisite is to be accountable for your culture, your children and your legacy. It is one of the most powerful visions that has been brought to life by a man not just seeking a monetary fix but a long-lasting legacy that will reshape our destiny as African Americans.Understand this, the energy that will fuel this vehicle is the solidarity of the Black community and the responsibility we have to lift up all black businesses and admonish our owners who choose to with (courage and a strong sense of urgency), take their place in history.I encourage you all to partake of this wonderful opportunity to embrace our economic power, build our financial freedom and secure entrepreneurship for the future. Know that it is then and only then that we will assure the survivability of our children for generations.Welcome all to the African American Connection's E-Business SolutionsSincerely,Carolyn Simmons CEOE-Business Solutionshttp://www.jusmcc.org click here to check out AAC

Sista's--Why Rent When You Can Buy? Here's the answer to this age old question...

Posted by Denise R. McCoy on October 8, 2009 at 8:25am

Homeownership–It’s NOT Just About MoneyThe “numbers tell the story” examples should ease your mind about the financial aspects of becoming a homeowner. But there are other, less monetary, benefits to homeownership that may partially explain the fact that buyers buy when they are ready.Several research studies indicate that homeownership adds to the value of communities, has positive effects on children, and even contributes to increased voter participation rates.Homeownership: The American Dream More than two thirds of American households own their own home. They know the benefits of homeownership, from the accumulation of home equity, tax incentives, and the pride of owning a place of their own. They also had to take that first step of deciding “I’m ready to be a homeowner.” REALTORS® assisted many of today’s 75 million homeowners in both their decision to buy and their first home purchase. REALTORS® are real estate professionals who are members of the NATIONAL ASSOCIATION OF REALTORS® and who abide by the Association’s strict Code of Ethics and Standards of Practice.They can help guide you to first-time homebuyer programs in your area, as well as assist you in searching for and buying your home.Why Not Wait?You may wonder whether it is worthwhile to wait to purchase your home until prices are at their lowest. Prices are not the only factor that should drive your decision. Currently, interest rates are at generational lows that greatly improve the affordability of homes. Further on the annual cost table, you can see that even if home prices decline, the possible tax savings of owning a home lead to a lower cost for the buyer, not the renter. Also,there are special, additional tax benefits for first time home buyers that may be available for a limited time only.Finally, and most importantly, when you have made the decision to commit to homeownership because you are financially ready, market conditions are a secondary concern. In fact, the NATIONAL ASSOCIATION OF REALTORS® 2008 Profile of Home Buyersand Sellers found that more than four in ten buyers purchased a home because the buyer was ready to make the commitment to homeownership.care of NAR

Is Network Marketing Lucrative?

Posted by Sharen Rooks Agency on August 30, 2009 at 10:00am

I remember hearing about network marketing and immediately thought “scams” where it was to good to be true. I held on to that for years. I recently began researching companies that came out with products that appeared to be good. I found many had a lot in common in there approach. I would like to share some of that information with you because when you are uneducated you can make costly mistakes or fail to see when a reputable company comes along.I use to cringe when folks would attempt to aggressively recruit me because of my position with people. It was difficult for me to say, NO because I wasn’t armed with information. My past experience as an educated has proved to be key when dealing with people about products and services.RED FLAGS!!!!!!!!!!NOW IS THE TIME!ASK FOR LARGE AMOUNT TO GET IN!NOT LISTED OR DOESN’T HAVE A GOOD RATING *BBB or Direct SalesONLY THE FOLKS ON TOP GET PAIDCOMPENSATION PLAN NOT SOLIDUSES AGGRESSIVE SALES TACTICSTREND PRODUCTWhen you see these types to things you need to stay away from these ideas because they can get you in a lot of trouble with those you bring into the business and those you sell to.GREAT INDICATORS!!!!!!!!GREAT PRODUCT OR SERVICESMALL START UP COSTSOLID COMPANYGREAT COMPENSATION PLANFOCUSES ON TEAM BUILDINGOFFERS TO ALL *meaning products can be for entire household*NO TERRITORY ISSUESYOUR EFFORTS COUNT TOWARDS YOUOFFER GREAT TRAININGANYTIME IS A GOOD TIME TO JOINIf you see these kinds of offers and can prove them you have just found a solid network marketing company that can yield you anywhere from 500-10,000 month. In the business that I am in people approach me all the time about joining their teams. I can’t take the risk of getting caught up in a company that will not be around. I encourage you to do your research before you jump in.I have been afforded the opportunity to be a part of two great companies like Prepaid Legal and Arbonne International. Please research both companies and you will find they are solid and have great compensation plans.Please call me if you have any questions @901-553-8901or email me sharenrooks@gmail.com

The Heart That Keeps On Beating

Posted by Brenda Farrar-Ejemai on March 15, 2009 at 2:34pm

THE HEART THAT KEEPS ON BEATINGIt has the most important job. Wounded yet it never skips a beat. There is no gluing or stitching involved, it just continues to work, as if oblivious to attacks.It’s a wonder and many are in awe of it. It’s the pumper of life.Sometimes it’s carelessly handled and is crushed easily.Many are not conscious of its fragileness. It is the holder of emotions and takes a direct hit when trampled upon.Shattered, broken and cracked in many places, however never giving up. It’s as if it has hope that tomorrow will offer it a chance to mend itself.The actions of it are involuntary and are easily taken for granted. There can be times when one is not aware of it, yet it continues to perform its duties.It pumps life and must pump on in spite of circumstances.Second by second, minute by minute, day by day, week by week, year by year, it keeps on beating, refusing to succumb to the blows of life.Copyright © 2009Brenda Farrar-Ejemai(Author of: The Family in the Car, A Revelation)CEO, Favor Blooms, LLCwww.TheFamilyInTheCar.comwww.youtube.com/thefamilyinthecarISBN: 978-1-58909-485-7

2009 Is The Year of BLACK AFFLUENCE

Posted by Darlene on January 4, 2009 at 9:30am

If we work together, ALL OF US can achieve great success beyond our wildest dreams in 2009.We are no longer at the bottom of the barrel; we have reached the TOP OF THE WORLD! If you look at all of the historic events that occurred in 2008, you have to truly believe in the possibilities of our future. Who would have thunk it…banks closings, Wall Street collapsing, foreclosure rates soaring and…Out of one of the most troubling times in the history of this country, a Black man was elected President of the United States of America?We came together in numbers not seen since the height of the Civil Rights activism in the 50’s and 60’s. It is now our time to shine once again and to be filled with pride likes our ancestors. We are truly a nation born from royalty, but we lost our culture, our true purpose, dreams and goals. So now what? We as a people need to siege the opportunities that are placed in front of us. We have to re-educate ourselves so that we can prosper in 2009 and beyond.We can achieve the financial freedom our families deserve with the right knowledge. Let me tell you my story. I joined TAG TEAM Marketing in December 2007 because of all the positive programs that were created to unite and empower the Black communities around this country and the world. In October 2006, my husband Larry and I had been the victims of a most vicious form of identity theft. The deed to our home was forged by a group of scam artists who were trying to sell our home without our knowledge. Well after 2-years of fighting, we went into foreclosure, bankruptcy (then kicked out of it) and lost everything. We started to be approached by family, friends and our church members to see if we could help them with their foreclosure issues. So we started the Steeple HOME Team In Jan’08. Even as we were still going through this crisis, my husband and I continued to drive 600 miles from Orlando up to Atlanta every other month, so that we could be a part of what we considered to be the most powerful seminars created specifically for Black people.In April 2008, we started to implement what we had learned at TAG TEAM into our business and almost tripled the amount of clients (as well as income,) and were able to turn our tragedy into a victory! We even started a radio show at a local station and got even more business. By September 2008, we were able to open an office in a very nice complex. In December 2008 we started to train others how to duplicate what we were doing and plan to open 10 offices by June 2009. The wealth of support from TAG TEAM, plus the knowledge from the seminars, conference calls, live Internet TV presentation and CDs prepared us to turn our lives completely around.TAG TEAM is even more committed to helping Black people achieve financial success during this next year, than ever before. Incredible programs and a ton of phenomenal surprises are in store that will take the Black community to a completely new level in 2009. As a result of the TAG TEAM Investment Club, brothers and sisters that have never invested before began earning income from their new KNOWLEDGE. Learn how you, as a Black person, can put your money to earn YOU money. Whether you have $1 or a million... whether you have no experience investing or lots of it, this FREE introductory seminar is FOR YOU. Live in Atlanta on Saturday, January 10, 2009. Note: I’m not sure if this will be streamed live via the Internet at the same time, but it will be posted on the website a few days later.I have already attended one seminar via Internet TV broadcast and plan to join the TAG TEAM Investment Club this month, so that my family and I can benefit even more with a better understanding of the financial system. I just have to share this information because I want to see every Black family have a better life. It is up to you to research it for yourself and figure out if it is time for you to re-educate yourself to move ahead.Visit www.tagteaminvestmentclub.com/TeamDollar and click on events!Darlene Robinson / mauddarlene.robinson@yahoo.com"I don't have to apologize to anybody for being Black, because God almighty knew EXACTLY what he was doing when he made me Black!"
