Not true at all. Business 2 biggest lies are taxes and lack of skilled employees. They are shipping jobs overseas for 1 reason only and that is for higher profits but it is now canibalistc practice.

It is true. Businesses don't like to pull up stakes, lay off people, pay unemployment, and move out of the country. If the government would concentrate on securing the borders and keeping us safe and leave business to its tried and true success in running business without government interference with a bazillion regulations and gargantuan taxation, the U.S. could be well on its way to recovery. And PREZBO just loves courting the favor of labor unions and supports their greed..

There is none. Governmnt needs to think out of the box and give incentives to these people to get back to work as quickly as possible. Maybe 3 months of unemployment if they get back to work within 3 months and stay employeed for 1 year afterwards. Of course there needs to be limits to this practice (maybe once per 2 years).

I don't disagree, but extending unemployment benefits for as long as they are going on accomplishes nothing. Spend that money on education, training, and, as you say, incentives.

There are students graduating college today with loans that they have no chance of ever being able to pay back... Can you say student loan crisies a few years down the road.

Again, I don't disagree. But, there are far too many C- minus high school students being pushed into pursuing a college education, graduating with bare minimum grades and expecting the employment world to fall at their feet.

All are honorable jobs however there are many of the above getting laid off due to real estate collapse.

There are areas of the country that are crying for trades people. People who already own houses need electricians, plumbers, roofers, maintenance, etc., etc. And, a good number of unemployed people living in economically depressed areas are loathe to move away from their "home" to seek employment elsewhere.
