There are so many people that have been out of work for over a year. When the welfare reform first came along companies were giving tax breaks for hiring workers on public assistance. The unemployed deserve the same,so many people have gaps in their employment history, so when employers do interview them they are held accountable for not filling the gaps when employers already know the circumstance. Please sign this if you think that employers should get tax breaks for hiring the unemployed. The gov't should give them a reward for hiring us.
