I hate to sound callous towards those who are genuinely looking, but there's a real disincentive at play here, it's too easy to get unemployment.
My next door neighbor is an out-of-work lawyer. I got him an interview at my insurance company, they offered him a job paying $100,000 a year, and he turned it down because it "didn't seem like a good fit" for him. And he still gets his unemployment benefits? you turn down a good job, you should be cut off.
And I'm sorry, I just don't understand the whole business of just mailing people checks for nothing. Those collecting unemployment benefits should be required (if they are able) to either perfomr some kind of community service, or participtae in an internship in their field, or be taking training for a new field. There is absolutely no justification (other than liberal ideology, which requires a large voting block that's addicted to the welfare that libs campaign on) to just giving people money and not requiring that they do SOMETHING.

I agree, I run into people who turn down offers with good working conditions and benefits because "for 50 less a week I can stay home and not have to do anything"
