Can I claim unemployment if I am transferred/demoted?

Monday, March 14th, 2011 at 7:04 pm

There is a very good chance that a previous salesperson who lost his job at another company will be put into my position. He is a "rock star" salesmen. I am a very high caliber salesmen myself but this guy has been in the industry for 30 years.

Anyway. It appears that the owner has approached this person and he will have pick on what store he works at. If he picks my store (which he will because it is where the majority of business is conducted in the state) I will more than likely be asked to transfer to a store that is in a different city. The commute is about 55 miles a day. Add on the monstrous construction project on the major interstate for the next 2 years making my drive time about an hour each way. That is not necessarily a deal breaker but I certainly will despise the commute. I know my car will not handle this either as I have been putting many repairs into it. I have no way of moving out because I will pay much more in that city than I am now. Not to mention that if I move out, my brother will not be able to pay me back the 4k that he owes me since he will have to put that money into paying it himself.

The biggest kicker here, is that the market I would be selling in is completely dead. There have been no attempts to improve it and I would basically be in the "arm pit" of the industry in our state (which is Utah by the way).

Are these valid reasons for unemployment to allow me benefits? If I were to attempt this move would unemployment allow me to claim after I gave it a shot and it didn’t work? Any answers will be much appreicated

yahoo news headline," immigrants hit hard by U.S. economy and sub-prime crisis"?

Well my question just a few days ago has been noted. I asked, " Do you want to know why I’m looking forward to a recession?" And yahoo just mentioned my reasons. What does an out of work illegal construction worker do when he can’t live with 15 other illegals? There’s no unemployment when you get paid under the table. They have no skills to fall back on…I’m hoping it gets even worse.What do you think?
shjolds-your post should be the yahoo headline.
I LOVE the last line of the yahoo article where the hispanic advocate claimed( in regards to the sub-prime) " they were subject to more abuse because the paperwork was in English". Does anyone else want to smack this woman silly?
To the person who asked how illegals get housing if they are paid under the table, hereis your answer- They don’t. In the illegal world there are people9 i forget they call them) who are able to sign the paperwork. i won’t admit to knowing how they qualified but they do.then they rent the house out to 10-15 illegals.

Will Obama, Pelosi, and Reid admit that their shovel ready construction stimulus didn't create any new jobs?

Are we in a Global Recession or Global Depression?

The media seems to be used to placate the truth. Markets the world over are starting to fail, and more is expected. Some analysts that have been featured on mainstream news, such Gerald Celente, have predicted the USA market will fail soon too. Some sectors of unemployment in some areas, such as construction, are as high as 25 percent.
