Let's just remember that all the money saved non rehiring people is not lost, it is probably going to increase investments/savings. And with that, the reality of unemployed people is a bit different. The point, in fact, is finding out why those more savings are not creating new jobs throughout investments. The way I see it, we are in a period where demand is really difficult to predict and understand. Which brings to more bad investments than usual, which then brings less jobs... It is a really complex problem, it can't be solved by a web app. Especially it can't be solved with low paid jobs.

It's not a complex problem. Investment follows demand. If 500 people are clamoring for a new daycare in a certain area, someone will invest and create one. If there's no demand for a new daycare, it doesn't matter whether money is available; no new daycare will be created (and if one is created, it will fail). The solutions to creating new jobs do NOT revolve around creating more investment money. There is a TREMENDOUS excess of investment money available in the world today. The solutions all revolve around creating more demand for the things that investment money can buy, which typically involve getting more money into the hands of poor people.

  == which typically involve getting more money into the hands of poor people == An there we go. I absolutely agree if we discuss about helping the poor and having a good public welfare. But there is no connection that I know between giving money to the poor and economic growth.
