I would like to remind you by comments made by higcoptimist in earlier posts. I think he has a valid point. In the final petition, please make sure the words carrying negative sense will be changed.

I am not sure if we could use
"In addition, with today's economy, many do not know how much longer they will be able to hold on to their jobs. "
Remember, the our labor certification is for the positions for which no local candidates are not available, or unwilling to work for. Instead we could express our intentions to continue to pay taxes, buy homes and materials, benifiting the economy constructively. With the present uncertain situation, we are emotionally very stressed, hence are holding back, from buying homes and actively participating in the upliftment of the communities we live in.
That's my two cents worth.
