ЧТО НОВОГО? /WHAT’S NEW?/City Threatens Benefit Cuts For Those Who Refuse Jobs - 11 August 2009.The city will stop paying unemployment benefits to those who have twice refused job placements found for them by government employment agencies, a top official said Monday. Those refusing to attend professional training could face a loss of benefits as well, Moscow labor department head Oleg Neterebsky said, Interfax reported. The number of registered unemployed in the country fell to 2.14 million, Deputy Prime Minister Alexander Zhukov said Monday. There are almost 58,000 registered unemployed in Moscow, the city’s labor department said last month. But a jump in the number of jobless is expected in the fall, a time when people traditionally turn to state employment agencies, Zhukov said. Cutting unemployment benefits after repeated rejections of job offers is common in most of Europe, experts said.

I saw the vacancy sign outside and I’m looking for an apartment. Sam: Yes, I’m Sam. We have one unit available right now. When are you looking to move in? H: The lease on my apartment is up soon, so I’d like to move in the first of the month. S: Okay, follow me and let me show you the unit. Each unit gets one parking space in the garage, and there are laundry facilities on the first floor. The landlord pays for the gas, but the tenant pays for all other utilities. Here’s the unit. Take a look around. H: Oh, this is nice. This apartment is exactly what I’m looking for. How much is the rent? S: It’s $900 a month and we require a 12-month lease. To move in, you’ll need to have the first and last month’s rent, plus a security deposit. H: How much is the security deposit? S: It’s $450. H: Okay, I’ll think it over and get back to you.
