I suppose if they consider and you keep telling them their own interest is to be enslaved by government subsidies then you have a point.

When I look on job search engines and it returns nothing, the help wanted columns in the newspaper are blank, I walk into a temp hiring service and they say nothing available, Military recruiters are the ones looking for work, or I drive down the road and don't see help wanted ads in the windows; I'll agree with you. A friend's son recently took a semester off of college and he was told to find a job. Took him about 2 days and now he works over 40 hours a week; may not go back to school.

There is work to be had; to suggest their is not is silly. Obviously, there will be a degree on unemployment hopefully a functionable level. When I first left the service about 25 years ago I drew unemployment for 4 weeks while I was looking for a job. I recall that I had to show up at the unemployment office each week and present them with a form that showed the jobs I had applied for that week and the I would get my subsidy. Are folks on unemployment still required to do this?
