I wonder how many people who are 'actively looking' are having to deal with that the only jobs offered are paying less than unemployment compensation? Or would be faced with having to get 2 or 3 jobs, just to survive. Or are competing for the good jobs they are qualified for with 100's of others. I guess it is just easier to sit on your 'duff and collect unemployment'.
I've always kept an eye on the Want Ads and the paper I subcribe to has a section called the Hot List. 3 years ago this Hot List used to be at least 1/2 to 1 page of new jobs every day. Now it is usually a square about 4 x 4 inches. I know that the newspaper is not the only resource for jobs, but it is an indicator of current opportunities in my area.
I hope it gets better, for my sake and all the other unemployed people out there. I'm pulling for all of them as well.
