    I don’t think the federal government has a program like this, but I went through unemployment after getting laid off last year in Massachusetts and they had resources to help you find careers and training/qualifications and whatnot. Some of the dumbest, lowest empathy people you encounter bitch about Communist Taxachusetts non stop but we have it pretty good here compared to some other places in the Union.

      The tax revenue per capita in Massachusetts is about $9000. (source)

      I measure it this way because it gets around the comparison problem of some places having no income tax, but high sales tax toake up for it.

      Anyway, we should happily pay $4000 per year difference to not live in Oklahoma.
