That image really makes me angry. I just HAD to go look for myself to see what the "american job center" is. On the front page Obola spouts off...

"I want every American looking for work to have the same opportunity...have one program, one website, and one place to go for all the information and help that they need."

This is such typical central command and control-economy thinking straight from 19th century marxist hell. It's as if Obola never even heard of the Internet and all the entrepreneurs seeking to make a fortune delivering job search services to a hungry market: CareerBuilder, Indeed, Dice, GlassDoor, LinkedIn, Linkup, Monster, SimplyHired, and TweetMyJobs. There are sites aimed at graduating students such as YouTern.com, Internships.com, CareerRookie.com, and CollegeRecruiter.com. If you have a marketable skill, don't want to work for a company, or just want to fill up some part time work hours you have available, you can bid your skills out on Amazon Mechanical Turk, Elance, Rent-a-Coder, FlexJobs, Ratracerebellion, Directselling411, BackDoorJobs, CoolWorks, Guru.com, Behance.net, etc, etc. If you want to work in customer service, there must be 100 companies that will hire you to work from home at the hours you want.

There is NO NEED for the government to be involved at all. The market sees a demand and fills it damn quickly, at lower cost and with a million more times the innovation the government could ever dream of. Companies come and go as they succeed or fail in the competitive marketplace.

If we turned all of our job hunting over to damned Fedzilla, we would all be shipping printed resumes with cover letters off to some Federal Department of Job Finding. In the unlikely event we ever heard from them, they'd inform us about some low-paying job in a field we're not qualified for, have no interest in, and located on MLK Blvd. We'd get in line with 22,000 other "job seekers" and find out it was taken by Jose-the-Illegal who just rode The Beast northward a month ago.
