Nov 15, 2011 12:02 am
WGXC volunteer Elaine Fernandez, on her blog WiThePeople.com, talks regularly with folks affected by the weak economy. Here, she speaks with Justin Palmer, of Tannersville, and Rebecca Zindell, of Catskill, at Columbia-Greene Community College, where the local department of labor’s one-stop career center is located. Palmer was there in response to an unemployment mandate; Zindell is a student. Palmer lost his job about two months ago and receives unemployment insurance benefits. He is 33-years-old and he said he’s never had a problem finding work, until now. Zindell talks about her financial situation. Fernandez's show "What's Going On" with an interview with the founder of the proposed Acres Food Co-Op in Hudson, Peter Pehrson, airs at 3 p.m. today, Tue., Nov. 15 on WGXC 90.7-FM.
