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.

But, what incentive is there for someone collecting $400/week on unemployment taking a job paying $450?

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).

Also, the obsession with pursuing a college diploma only to find out when a student graduates college, there aren't enough college jobs out there, and businesses are only going to hire the best of the lot they get to choose from. The student is stuck with student loans and has to work at a job he/she could have gotten fresh out of high school

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.

Trades - likes plumbers, welders, electricians, roofers, construction, etc. are ripe for opportunities. But too many of our young people think such professions are declasse - but taking a job at McDonalds isn't. And, the military is an option for a paycheck and career opportunities.

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