A 21st Century Fairy Tale
I read an article earlier this week which claimed that most people find their first fairy tale more memorable than their first history lesson.  I can understand why this may be so.  Many history lessons are devoid of the human drama that is a key part of our history.
So how will history represent the critical issues of this time period?  Will it depict the day to day struggles of Americans trying to make ends meet?  Will future generations feel the anxiety we currently feel as a result of the high unemployment rate?  Or will history just impartially divide us into two groups; the employed and the unemployed?
For many people, learning history is boring. On the other hand, most children and adults find fairy tales exciting; they emphasize the best and worst of human characteristics.  Maybe that’s the reason why Cinderella, Snow White, The Queen of Hearts and the Mad Hatter are more memorable than Tories, Loyalists, Allied forces, Axis powers, employed and unemployed.

I have currently been on unemployment for 3 months.  I recently applied for a temporary fulltime job.  It would last 6 months.  Will I be able to get back on unemployment after the job is through?  It is not consultant work, it is fulltime.

Yes. Report that you found temporary work at the end of that first week on the temp assignment and when the temp job ceases, begin filing again for unemployment insurance. You may be able to take up on the original claim where you left off, if you still have remaining weeks left on it, or you may have to start a new claim if your weeks on this claim have reached their duration limits. However, after only 12 weeks (3 months) it sounds like you would still have time left on that existing claim.
 
You may be able to figure it out by seeing the benefits history page listing all payments and dates they were made to you, and by use of the popup calculator on the labor dept
