Every major city in America has at least one temporary job servive with WAITING LISTS of people who want jobs. Every county in the country has an unemployment office with lines of people looking for work.
The claim that there are millions of empty jobs that can not be filled is a complete lie.
Pretty simple to prove me wrong. Justr show me these jobs.
There are empty jobs, though my statement will be contrary to what Au is saying. The jobs Mike is talking about are skilled positions. They may not require a four year degree, but they do often require a trade school and/or a legitimate apprenticeship. These are things that are lacking in this country. There are things being done in an attempt to correct it, but for so many of these positions there are no longer enough people qualified to take on the role. Where I work, for instance, we have two jobs that have been open for over a month that require such skills, but they haven't had enough qualified applicants apply to even close the jobs and have interviews.
There are unskilled jobs that pay a pittance all over the place that people sneer at, and there are skilled jobs that pay better that people aren't qualified for. At least that's what I have been seeing based upon job openings in my area.
