Well we have YOU (Youth Opportunities Unlimited) to thank for the two new jobs that have come to our home. Both my older kids found temporary placement employment through this group. I hope it's enough to kick start them and give them some extra money to save towards their education etc.
Husband...he's still looking. It's hard to do here, especially when you aren't 20 yrs old anymore. He tries though, I'll give him credit for that. Always updating and sending resumes out and always searching both online, and on foot for the next job. Also still attached to a temp agency and waiting for a call from them.
The not so good news...it means that come September, the deductions from both those jobs will throw us off the system. It is fine as far as paperwork, and "sponging off the taxpayer" (don't forget my husband is one while in school and receiving 2nd career money). The downside is, medical expenses are no longer covered, neither is transportation allowance. My daughter's prescriptions are not cheap and we are going to hope that Trillium benefits cover it. (OW might cover our medical for a month or so, I'll have to check into it and let you know how it goes for us).
I'll also keep you posted as to how much gets deducted when a person on workfare begins to bring home money. When my husband had a temp job a year or so ago...it wasn't enough to boot us off the system. But this is 2 incomes plus his 900 a month income. I think it's going to be sufficient to keep us as we have been living so far.
