The current employment market shows a disturbing trend in the character of both individuals and government. There are clearly a large number of people who feel they are too good for a low paying job. But government actions are contradictory and counter productive. On one hand the new health care law encourages employers to reduce working hours, while at the same time attempts to buy votes by pushing higher minimum wages and extending unemployment. And then there is the push for amnesty to get people to fill those jobs that are available. When you put these factors together it becomes clear that the goal of the federal government is not to decrease unemployment at all, but to create a dependent underclass while dividing the population and pitting groups against each other. I'm not buying that our federal government is collectively too stupid to see it. I think they know exactly what they are doing, which is disturbing because it is very clear that their intent is to better their own positions rather than those of the citizens.
It's like the old joke about the guy who took a job that paid straight commission so he could finally earn what he was worth.
After a few months on the job, he discovered he couldn't live on that so he found a hourly paid job.
