Just cut back?
It's a tough job market. The overwhelming majority of the unemployed are out there every day trying to find a job, literally any job. It's people like this who make the majority look bad.
It’s an easy job market.
Log onto Rigzone.net to see what I mean.
The oil patch gets more new *jobs* each day than resumes, most of which pay 6 figures and require no high school diploma.
Little or no training. $100,000+ salaries.
Pause...
You see, the problem isn’t a lack of jobs. The problem is that people have learned to milk unemployment, social security, Section 8 free rent, disability, aid for dependent mothers with children, and a host of welfare programs such that they don’t have to **MOVE** to find a job.
Why work?!
Ever see “The Grapes of Wrath” movie?
Depression-era farming family gets hit by the dustbowl (can’t grow crops there any longer) and packs up to move to California (gasp... “did that mean Man say MOVE?!”) because California was hiring more grape pickers (more jobs) than it had applicants.

LOCATED
This is not rocket science. The unemployed are just too soft...too spoiled...to move to find work.
Sam Kineson did a great skit on that mentality back in the 1980’s where he pointed out that the best thing the West could do for starving Africans was to buy them suitcases to “MOVE WHERE THE FOOD IS!”
...most people are stupid. And lazy.
And we live in an Idiocracy.
The jobs are aplenty...they just aren’t in the dead Rustbelt cities like Flint, Michigan.

No more excuses. Go get a job. “That mean man wants us to *WORK* in snowy North Dakota.”
Really? Do you have some data to back that up?
