If I'm reading you correctly, employers have largely written off the 07-09 jobless. I'd imagine that a nontrivial amount are on SSI/SSDI as a fallback. If there's a chance to not let their talents rot, how does one nudge the employer to give them a good faith chance? If the choice is to write them off, then how does one make it less painful for the written off? Either way, it does no good to do nothing for people caught on the wrong end of employment or nothing towards employers that write people off.
