Hi, can we chat?
Yes. Great.
Comment your thoughts below.
I live in a state where rent for a one-bedroom is over $1,500, while the minimum wage was raised to $12 an hour on September 30, 2023.
The maximum unemployment benefits max benefit is at $275 a week.
You really get no assistance, unless you are with a child, however, singles pay extra in taxes. (PERIOD)
If we contribute to society, why would singles not receive the same, if not additional benefits while in transition?
When conducting a Google search the below results return:
Why is Florida’s unemployment amount so low?
“Through strong economic policy and strategic investments, Florida is outperforming the nation and providing more opportunity for its citizens, resulting in more than 200,000 new business formations this year alone and an unemployment rate near an all-time low,” said Governor Ron DeSantis
Is Florida’s unemployment low?
TALLAHASSEE, Fla. – Today, FloridaCommerce announced that Florida’s unemployment rate remains at a steady 2.7 percent in August 2023 while the national rate climbed 0.3 percentage points to 3.8 percent. August 2023 marks the 34th consecutive month Florida’s unemployment rate has remained below the nation’s.
From my observation, YES there are more jobs, however, in what fields?
Fast food, retail?
I see a lot of Professionals having to “downgrade” in a position to pay bills, right here on LinkedIn!
This is where it gets personal, hope you’re still with me 😊

…I came to realize that what I have known to be love was shown to me by MUSIC.
Music SPEAKS to me on levels human interaction can reach, it helped me also discover my talent in drawing, painting, playing the flute, singing, and dancing.

*Flashback alert
As a young girl in Germany, I couldn’t sit still.
I needed to move!
I needed to understand how else I could express myself but using ALL of me!
Ballet classes are art, with no words.
Professionally figure skating is where I could be aggressive.
For 20 years, all these experiences gave me different lessons in learning how to be creative, and how to plan and move accordingly when looking at every situation from a different angle.

In 2007, I graduated from USF with my Bachelor of Science degree, a major in Marketing.
On a journey to discover my purpose I took positions in multiple industries, (my LinkedIn profile shows the journey, so do your thing).
None of which aligned with my 50K in student loans.
Nowadays’s Marketing is, but honestly always has been sales driven, coming out of college we should work on commission.
To help build your brand, no thank you!
…This post is me expressing that it has NOT worked thus far!
So, what now?
This platform allows certain posts to go viral, but at what point do we all become honest about the actual problem we are facing and how do we work on a solution???
CEOs of Fortune 500 companies appear to have it all figured out, YES- “they’ve put their work in.”
while the staff is struggling with finance and mental health to “PAY BILLS”. It appears to me that they forgot how they started and let’s be real AMERICA, we all do not have to endure struggle to make it!
I’ve experienced the pros and cons of working with start-ups and Fortune 500 companies I pose the following questions to the politicians making all the rules.
Why do we not offer 9-5 jobs to creatives who help make the world go round? Focusing on music alone:
The most talked about concerts this year:
- BEYONCE KNOWLES-CARTER: RENAISSANCE WORLD TOUR
- TAYLOR SWIFT: THE ERAS TOUR THESE ARTISTS HAVE SHOWN HARD WORK, HUMILITY
- …to mention a couple.
The mentioned artists have exemplified hard work, sacrifice, passion, compassion, talent, humanity, etc.
The key word here is economic boost, need I go further?
I am very much looking forward to seeing the comments, Enlighten me, Educate me.
What am I missing? What are “they” missing?
