An unemployed Texas engineer who gained fame in January when his wife discussed their situation with President Obama on the Google Plus "hangout" feature still has not gotten a job.
According to the Fort Worth Star-Telegram:
"Not even recruiting companies are calling anymore," said Jennifer Wedel, the Fort Worth mother of two who chatted online this year with Obama about her out-of-work husband.
She says his job search has been hurt by a program to hire skilled foreign workers.
It's been more than three years since Darin Wedel lost his job as a semiconductor engineer at Texas Instruments. …
"I did feel we got our hopes up a little," Jennifer Wedel said last week. "I mean, he's the POTUS. But it seems not even the leader of our country can get [Darin] a job."
