While I doubt any businesses specifically had policies that said “long-term unemployed need not apply,” there is definitely a bias against such people. Until just recently, I was one of them. Even though I spent those months out of work getting training and had certifications to show for it, I was still looked down upon when I started looking for work.

Of course, even I have to admit that asking King Obama to to issue a royal decree isn’t going to solve this. This is a problem with corporate culture, and to believe that the government can legislate human faults away is as naive as anything the liberals have dreamed up.
