The obvious response to that is to suggest that these people are looking just hard enough (wink,wink) to keep their benefits but not actually get hired by anyone and once you take away the free ride they'll start making an honest effort to find work.
I don't agree with that, but I find it hard to refute when it comes up. Are there any good, fact-based arguments that prove this idea to be false?
- Ensorceled 13y agoThe fact that employment can add 200K jobs in a month. When jobs open up they are filled. There are around 11 million unemployed in the US. There are not 11 million employers looking for people that can't find anybody willing to work. If there was, everybody would have the UI benefits cut off for not taking those jobs.
