Rant: Not to knock the unemployed but...

http://money.cnn.com/2010/04/21/news/economy/long_term_unemployment/index.htm

if you get laid off from a six figure job, there is no rule that says you cannot take a job that pays less.

If there is 10% unemployment, that means there is 90% employment!

I suspect there is a superior attitude amongst those who claim they cannot find work after two years! Two years is a long time!

They should say instead " I cannot find work that pays the same as my old job and I refuse to accept a job that pays less".

If they say.... I say....

-There are no jobs in my area..........then move to place with jobs
-Gas is so expensive.......................then drive a car with better gas mileage
-My mortgage has to be paid............sell the house and rent
-My wife is a stay at home mom........Kelly girl time
-I have no skills other than XXXXX because that is all i know.......delivering pizza requires no skill
-We have to eat.............................time for rice and beans

My point is, the economy is tough and we all have to make adjustments. Just don't tell me there is ZERO jobs out there.
