Wow, that is a wild statement to make. You should come to a Houston job fair and see how many professionals are begging for jobs.
Even some churches help in getting their congregation involved in job hunting techniques. There are special prayer sessions to pray for the unemployed.
You have no idea what you are talking about. A good recruiter could make a very decent living in Houston, which is hard hit because of lower crude oil prices.
No I am saying that the chronically unemployed are often unwilling to work. Not that everyone is.
