All I can say is that I have been trying to hire help for the past three weeks. I have had an ad in the paper for the past three weeks, I have a reputation as being a more than fair employer and there have been no serious takers. During this time I have had four people come in and ask me for a job - I offered it to three of them and was told they were only applying to keep their unemployment benefits going - they asked for and refused the job when it was offered. Don't quote statistics about unemployment when every paper in the country has "Help Wanted" ads in them. Granted, it might not be the exact thing one is looking for but there are jobs for almost anyone who is really wanting to work.
