Unemployment benefits, joblessness riseComalada County business leaders and representatives of Texas Workforce Commission say they are taking additional measures to help area unemployed as those who receive subsidies statewide reached a record high and double the number from 2008 to County comal.Comala County unemployment is 6.7 percent, according to information posted on November 20, the Texas Workforce Commission Labor Market Information Office and Training. Although the county below the uncorrected state rate of 8.1 percent nationally and 9.5 percent, showing that a significant number of adults Comalada County - about 5316 people - the report are actively seeking work. As a result of unemployment, unemployment claims and payments has more than doubled in the last year, said Ann S. Hatchitt, communication director for the Texas Workforce Commission. Statewide the number of applicants - about 558,000 - and the amount of payments is a record. "We have never before paid so many benefits," said Hatchitt. According to the Texas Workforce Commission, 845 Comala County residents received $ 963,884 to the employer are regular unemployment benefits in October of 2009, compared to 434 employees who received $ 472,854 in October 2008 . He also received 630 county residents of $ 592,709 in benefits paid by the federal government extended in October 2009. (At this point, in 2008, there were 151 people received $ 140,911 in federal funds for unemployment.) Some unemployed are eligible for extensions of receipt of the total 26 weeks of regular benefits, if you have not yet found a job despite attempts to do so. The government now offers a total of 79 weeks of state and federal benefits to Texans who qualify. (In the interest of full disclosure, the author of this article are receiving unemployment benefits from the state.) Only about 30 percent of job seekers, even ask for benefits, Hatchitt said. Which makes the file, about 75 percent are excluded eligible, he said. To be eligible for unemployment benefits, the law requires candidates to lose their jobs or salaries for "no fault". You must also have earned a certain amount of income in Texas in the last five quarters, or 15 months and be able to find work. "But we urge anyone who thinks they may qualify to go ahead and apply," said Hatchitt. "We have professionals on staff who knows and can determine whether a person is actually eligible. The state law has some gray areas, "he said. In some cases, people have received benefits after voluntarily leaving a job because they do not pay, or because their health or welfare is at stake if keep working, Hatchitt said. Others have received benefits, even after being sacked when the Texas Workforce Commission agreed with the plaintiff that the dismissal was without cause. Eligibility provisions are made by officials of the Education Commission of Texas, speaking separately with a representative of the employee and the employer. If any party objects to the determination of eligibility can be complaints. If there is a disagreement after the complaints, the matter may be heard before three commissioners appointed by the governor. And about 1 percent, which is not resolved by the Commission ends in court, said Hatchitt. The dismissals costly for employers For employers, the layoffs can be costly. While some money for benefits comes from loans or federal sources, as happens now, because the high number of applicants, the majority of funds from a trust fund comes from taxes on employers. When employers workers successfully completed files and reap the benefits, increase their taxes. "Their rates depend on the history of the people, because if a person is constantly hiring and put a lot of people out to employ people and then fell out, because this company is responsible for more money coming out of our depth, "said Hatchitt. He explained that about three quarters of the '440 000 Texas employers pay the minimum rates to cover unemployment benefits, which amount to about $ 23 per employee per year. The maximum tax rate equals approximately $ 500 per employee. Hatchitt refused to disclose the names of employers pay the highest rates. "It is a terrible punishment, but an incentive for employers to manage their work force without layoffs," said Hatchitt. The Texas employers have "historically low" prices in the last two years. But there are employers have been notified that the high unemployment in the state is required to increase the tax rates expected to announced the first week of December. The recent decision to ask for money and Governor Rick Perry has chosen to drop more than $ 500 million in federal incentive funds are other factors that lead to future tax increases, Hatchitt said. Employers who wish to discuss the possible effects of tax and whether layoffs planned retirement allowance would be more profitable, you should contact the Workforce Commission, Hatchitt said. Car during a recession Despite the economic slowdown has Comala County New Braunfels and had layoffs this year. "We have not presented any basis for 10 years and we are in a hiring freeze," said Bob Grazioli, Director of Human Resources County comal. "But as part of planning for next year, we have no budget for additional manpower," except for police and emergency personnel from other services that could be financed through donations or other funds. The city of New Braunfels are not anticipating layoffs either, said Julie O'Connell, Human Resources Director, but the municipal government is reviewing the open positions to determine whether the place should be filled or eliminated. O'Connell said he has seen signs of increasing unemployment as a flood of applications for vacancies.

Michael Meek, president of the Greater New Braunfels Chamber of Commerce remains optimistic about employment opportunities in the area. "The Austin San Antonio Corridor remains one of the strongest job markets in the state," said Meek. He said the chamber and local economic development agencies are working to attract more jobs to the area. He said the pioneer of the new 2009 Caterpillar engine plant in Seguin as a recent success.
