People just don't want to work anymore. All the time people are pissing and moaning, caterwauling that the "jobs are going overseas" and that we are in a "burger flipping" economy. But that is all B.S. There are literally millions of well-paying jobs available in the U.S. but people just aren't showing up to take them.

I've been a hiring manager at my company for years and our company is starved, STARVED, for good talent. But we have a hard time filling our positions, many of which pay into six figures.

I am so sick of hearing about "no jobs available" and if that poster shows up who's constantly harping about "bring the jobs back from China", I think I'm going to electronically strangle him.

Do you think that the generous SNAP, TANF, section 8 and other benefits (if not disability, too) are discouraging a lot of people from working?
