Northwest......my wife teaches at our state college one of the things that shows there is a high number of unemployed people is the number of college graduates not working as I and my wife have witnessed. These enabled liberal children are not accepting jobs because 1.) the jobs do not pay what they want 2.) they are not jobs that are exactly what they want as they think they should be hired into a position they feel they are qualified for but aren't 3.) the little lazy darlings do not want to work.
Also, we have a lot people that can no longer file for unemployment because they have gone beyond the time they can make a claim because they have run out of places to turn work down while interviewing or got tired of going out on interviews. There are "Help Wanted" signs all over the USA cities I have visited but jobs are not being filled because of our democrat enabled society wants to make more money than what they deserve or do not want to work for a wage. In the depression people would take most any kind of job that paid no matter how much. Today our welfare enabled and parent enabled society people do not want to actually work so our unemployment rate in fact is extremely high but not due to a lack of jobs.
