The Census Bureau has not yet reported how many were on welfare in 2013 or the first two quarters of 2014.
But the 109,631,000 living in households taking federal welfare benefits as of the end of 2012, according to the Census Bureau, equaled 35.4 percent of all 309,467,000 people living in the United States at that time.

My husband and I are talking about leaving the Eastern Shore. It's difficult to compete with 200 to 500 applications at one time. I may be over very qualified for the job, but there's so many applications and people needing work here it's difficult. Our finances have significantly suffered from this. It's just so frustrating.
A lot of this is hidden because, the unemployment lines and food lines are now handled online. Talking to people who have lived through the first depression, many say this great recession is worse.
Jon Taylor is on there but he counts as 3.
Obama's vision for a useless socialist America, all voting in the next clown that will keep the welfare check coming with no questions asked.
1:49-Thanks for the laugh.Did they seriously tell you that you were over qualified? Truth is they just dug a little deeper.Things aren't like they used to be.Now you AND your husband can be evaluated,because like it or not a prospective employer has to cope with him as well.His being here there and everywhere in addition to his steady job isn't helping your cause one bit.Technology is a great tool,but in your case it's a hindrance.
3:33 I have experienced the same issues in moving from one job to another within the same company. In most cases it's been an affirmative action issue. In another case, it was about a female supervisor who felt threatened that I may know the job better than she.
3:33 I have a degree in Accounting and over 10 years experience at one company. My current boss will vouch for my abilities. It has nothing to do with background. I do not go on facebook, nor do I have bad credit or any legal issues or even tickets. The companies want to hire less experienced people that they can train and pay less. The value of an education declines when the work is scarce. Overqualified = we cannot afford to pay you what your worth.
