RE: I have been told repeatedly by some members of this forum that the only reason people are unemployed is because they are lazy leech’s who would rather sit home sucking off the government.
I for one know of many people who are SINCERELY and ACTIVELY looking for work, taking anything they can get ( even part time or contract positions ).
The real problem is -— THERE ARE NOT MANY JOBS AVAILABLE OUT THERE. I can speak for those in our tri-state area — NY-NJ-CT.
For every one job open, I would say there are at least 10 candidates applying for it.
If only! I have been involved in one testing situation where I was testing against over seven hundred other applicants for ONE position, and that was just the testing phase prior to their deciding who to actually interview. On average the number of people I have been competing against for a job has been over a hundred and never less than fifty, and once again thats after the initial qualification weed out to go to the testing weed out prior to interview.
