So the economy is slowly recovering, just a little bit. The government’s economic stimulus plan is starting to do just that–stimulate the economy. But while things are starting to pick up and a little bit of light is creeping in, there’s still a ton of Americans, who are unemployed. Just because the economy is showing sparse signs of life, doesn’t mean the millions of Americans who’ve lost their jobs the past couple of years, will magically get an employment invitation from their old companies. 
This past Saturday (February 20th), The New York Times published an article titled, “The New Poor: Millions of Unemployed Face Years Without Jobs.” Peter Goodman wrote that “Even as the American economy shows tentative signs of a rebound, the human toll of the recession continues to mount, with millions of Americans remaining out of work, out of savings and nearing the end of their unemployment benefits. Economists fear that the nascent recovery will leave more people behind than in past recessions, failing to create jobs in sufficient numbers to absorb the record-setting ranks of the long-term unemployed…Yet the social safety net is already showing severe strains. Roughly 2.7 million jobless people will lose their unemployment check before the end of April unless Congress approves the Obama administration’s proposal to extend the payments, according to the Labor Department.”
Man! Those are some heavy stats. Heavy, negative-sounding stats.
Now where does REIC comes in? Well, we’ve just launched our Business Developer program. This program is a great way for build a side business or serve as a replacement career like stay-at-home parents who want to help earn income for their families can or individuals who have recently lost their jobs. REIC has provided lots of tools (including personal websites, access to REIC resources, etc) for each business developer. Now, this program isn’t going to solve the nation’s unemployment statistics overnight, over 100 nights or probably over 10,000 nights! However, it is a proactive step to helping improve the current economy and putting hard-working Americans back in the workforce.
