“Last night Americans who still seek work heard President Barack Obama speak directly to them. From its opening paragraphs, his State of the Union speech gave 22.7 million jobless Americans a renewed sense of hope.

“President Obama made prosperity, and not austerity, his driving theme. That prosperity would be built on manufacturing, high-tech skills and a fix-it-now approach. In many ways, it echoed the concepts advocated by the Union of Unemployed for the last 40 months.

“The Union of Unemployed stands ready to help advocate for this prosperity agenda. It is the only sure route to get millions and millions of Americans back to work.”

With over 135,000 activists who regularly connect with nearly 37 million Facebook friends, UCubed represents a significantly rising demographic of unemployed and underemployed Americans.
