Ah okay, so it's not your fault. I get that. Is there a time when at least some of the blame for this situation shifts to you? Or is it never anyone's own fault that they don't have a job?

In a simple answer, NO, NO, NO!
But if you were to ACT like a human, you can EMPATHIZE with others that are in this situation. You can discuss how You could potentially help them. You can help to try and understand their situation!
But in order to do this, YOU HAVE TO GET OUT OF YOUR OWN LITTLE WORLD AND JOIN THE REST OF US! You are going to have to see BEYOND what your world has limited you too, and see that the world goes beyond that scope, because right now, it's a very, very, very limited scope that you're looking through and at.
When you approach someone who is unemployed as though they are a pathetic peon in your view, then you will get a rash of abuse hurtled at you with the force of a javelin coming towards your head.
You have to learn how to be human and just learn how to empathize with a person, not persecute(?) them, which your posts are doing.
Now this is the first part of your question, now here's the second--

You egotistical twit! Hell no this had NOTHING TO DO WITH ME!!!!!! So damn sorry to burst your bubble! I didn't tell my ex boss to steal 8 million dollars from Medicaid! I didn't tell her to scam the government! I didn't tell her to underpay her employees! And I damn sure didn't tell her illegal ass to stay in this country when she was supposed to have been deported in 1992!
Now tell me, Mr. Wannabe Silverplated spoon, how in the hell is this my fault? What in the hell did I have to do with her and her decisions? Where in the hell did I go wrong other than apply to work with her butt and stay there? HUH!!!!!! Where in the hell am I to blame in this? If you can answer that you're a good one!
I have been unemployed before, and yes, I did and DO take RESPONSIBILITY for myself and FOR MY ACTIONS!!!! I admit where I did and didn't go wrong. I admit what I could have done better and how I could have made a difference. IN OTHER WORDS, YES I TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR MYSELF AND MY ACTIONS.
But for YOU to ASSUME that I am unemployed because I a) want to be, b) this is MY FAULT, and c) I desire to remain unemployed, you are crazy stupid nuts!
You don't KNOW someone's SITUTAITON until you are in there or YOU HAVE HEARD THEM. Stop being an ASS through ASSUMING, because this time, you aren't making an ass out of me, but you're CONFIRMING THAT YOU'RE AN ASS THROUGH YOURS!
To answer your last question, you'd have to ask individual unemployed people in order to get your answer. Try just becoming a person and asking instead of your usual, ASSUMING.
