Could it also be that all these jobs stink — that is, they’re part time, temporary and/or seasonal — and pay less than if the unemployed stayed on welfare or whatever assistance they are receiving?

Way to turn off any readers...

Because they won’t be hired?

Maybe they look around and see how unambitious, incompetent, unqualified people with no experience, employment background or the slightest sense of any moral principle or work ethic get to land a fantastic job, no work schedule, private flying living room, play golf all day, and laugh at the entire world, everybody and anybody and realize, and ask themselves, why bother to struggle getting an advanced education, work slavishly at some dead end job below market pay, while others sleep throughout the day, watch TV, retire at thirty, live off the government at slightly less quality of life standards?

A permanent, dependent, underclass is nirvana to the Democrats. Their programs seem to be working well to assure that they feel good about themselves while promoting their permanent rule.

Why are so many workers refusing to apply for jobs?

Meth IS a full-time job.

Employers have taken to out right lying on their ads.

I have interviewed several jobs whose comp plan was more than dishonest.

I have interviewed for jobs that advertised salary plus commission only to learn the job was striclty commission and expenses are paid as well many benefits would come direclty out your check and deducted from commission

Others disclose you are required to work at headquarters for 2 months before being released to work in your territory, which near your home 2.5 hours to the south.

Theh need to more honest about the job requirements

The recession was over in June of 2009. Who’da thunk it?

[MrB]

‘cuz they can still eat, drive, watch movies and talk on their cell phones without working.

[b4its2late]

Why work when you can stay home, have some cash deposited into your account automatically every month, drink beer on the front porch and watch the rest of us go to work to support ya?

[Gritty]

Now that 0bamaCare and Medicaid makes medical coverage free and anybody can get food stamps and free housing, why work? Just go on drugs and get SSI Disability to cover the rest of your expenses. If you run short, you can always score by selling some more drugs.

America! Is this a GREAT country, or what!!??

[dfwgator]

They just want to bang on the drum all day.

1. because they are druggies
2. because they have learned that if they don’t come to work everyday on time they get fired
3. they have tattoos that are objectionable if they are in public view
4. they are attitudinal and black
5 they texted during the interview

A lot of my friends who used to have jobs (mostly white males over 40) find it near impossible to find a job in our area and anything with a long drive doesn't pay enough for the gas and the upkeep on the car to travel back and forth to work. So most have went into grey income streams. Buying and selling items for cash or doing odd jobs for cash etc.

Tearing down homes for cash is a big one around here then they rehab the wood into useable needed items to sell for cash.
