The reality is, nobody wanted to work THAT job for the WAGE being offered. Plenty of people hired labor during the recession, if you were unable to find talent that is due to your compensation, not because people don't want to work there. Sure unemployment will be slashed at some point, but I doubt people will return to these under paying jobs in droves.
