ONLY THOSE WHO ARE CURRENTLY EMPLOYED NEED APPLY.
The Department of Labor actually found 152 such advertisements recently in Monster and CarreBuilder.
See how they like that!
This doesn’t count the time-waster companies that advertize for jobs that they do not have, nor have any intention of fulfilling. I used to work for Dell, and it was common for us to interview people (desperate for a job) for positions that we didn’t have open. The idea was to intimadate people currently in that department, or to generate interviews for HR to measure our ‘Cultural Diversity’ against.
Anyway you look at it, the people who took the time to drive in, dress sharp and get their hopes up - were abused by Dell. After a short bit of this, I requested to be removed from the interview list.
I was going to say that discrimination on the basis of employment is perfectly rational, but I don’t want to anymore. I’m sick of having to justify discrimination. I’m sick of the state’s presumption of choosing what is and what’sm not proper choosing on the part of employers. Or anyone else, for that matter. It’s none of your business!
What would the unemployed applicants be suing to actually receive? An actual job with the company or the company providing them with some kind of cash settlement? If it’s the latter, I could easily see some unemployed person apply for a job he knows he’s not qualified for, get turned down, sue for unemployment discrimination, and then get a lot of cash from the company without having to work for it in return.
unfortunately, even the employers who don’t specify this may require a credit check before hiring. how many unemployed people have good credit ?
