Both her husband and brother are now attending technical school in a bid to find new careers in the IT industry. But the timing of the layoffs muddied her husband's eligibility for a grant to pay for the $6,000 course, which could force him to delay completing it.

Tell that lady to talk to `Bill Gates` about that. He's the one who wants "more" foreign workers allowed in the U.S.

See what you've done to these poor people Bill? Nay...all of the U.S...your fault.

Tech school? Its THE ONLY WAY to get ahead here!

the elkhart truth published an article on the front page of the sunday edition a few weeks back that asked "can you make it on $16 an hour?"

Hello america!!!! those of us that are fortunate to have jobs are paying our rent, utilities, bills, AND raising a family on less than that. I personally am a single mom raising a 3 month old on $10 an hour, and I am considered a better paid part time employee. Imagine having a family of four?

School is an option for many people here because the jobs are not quite in yet...yes some places are starting to hire again which is a good sign. if the government can help pay for most of it, can you blame them?

I may be young but one of the biggest debates I have heard about illegal immigration is that they are doing the jobs no one else will do. I think it's about time our government officials wake up and get there butts to our city and see elkhart has a few thousand people willing to do anything.

How about we start there? Its not our fault people came here illegally and started popping out kids living off our taxes. And before anyone says anything about where MY heritage comes from, my family hails from Germany, but ya know what? THEY did the documentation and learned english before they were allowed to move.

Thats a start for me. Alot of people need to work. Where are the jobs? And how can they get to honestly, a smaller town in Elkhart, IN?

The city with the heart is broken,I would really like Mayor Moore to remove the signs coming into the city that this is the Musicial instrument capital of the world because this is a false statement those days are gone........
