You are there to provide a company with a skill that will, in turn, help their overall production. I don't understand why Democrats can't see this.

These people are always free to start their own companies. I mean c'mon, if it's so easy for some other company to give you your dream job, then do it yourself...right?

(I'm always amazed at how the most arent Democrats start acting like Republicans when they start their own company. Oh, they still say all the Democrat things...but their actions are quite different.)

More or less what happened to me....

But I don't know why you are surprised. There is a heck of a difference in cashing a paycheck and signing one. Plus you get an up close and personal view of who really pays the taxes.

Just a bit of sarcasm on my part...

Maybe I've missed something in all the scholarly postings above, but I always understood that 3-5% unemployment was really full employment, that the small percentage was those transitionioning from from one job to another, that they were the grease that made the gears of economy turn. If we had 0.0 % unemployment, no one could hire a new worker without taking him from another business. It would be difficult to start new businesses or expand old ones. It would actually be a labor shortage.

Some people are unemployed by choice, others by stubborness. But for some, if they want it to be, it can be a great opportunity. I was unemployed once, and that led me to search new possibilities for my life, and I am MUCH better off today than if I had kept that job I lost. I would never have embarked on the course my life has taken had I stayed in that job.

I'm curious as to how much of this is holiday employment as opposed to permanent employment.

When I was in college I always worked retail for the holiday season and was hired in October by the stores. You want your sales staff trained by the November when people start shopping for Christmas.

That may be preferable, but my understanding is that most of the holiday hiring is done from T'giving to Xmas...especially w/ college kids getting some of that time off.

I'm sure these numbers were aided by college students returning to university, but it's still a remarkably low number...particularly when combined w/ the increase in median income seen early this year.

Those are profound numbers which people don't seem to accept b/c they are always being fed negative.
