I imagine that the majority of the unemployed were originally laid off through no fault of their own, that is obviously not something within their power. How hard they work at gaining further employment and what opportunities they choose to accept and what sorts of compromises they're willing to make are well within their power, however.

saying that again means that you weren't really paying attention to what ppl are saying.
1) no one wants to go from being a high level manager to working at walmart, but,
2) even when they try, they're being turned away because they're overqualified.
3) even if you get the job, if you're barely making ends meet on unemployment, why would you take a job that gives you
even less money? so that you can say you're gainfully employed? gtfohwtbs.
4) so if you want to call that exploiting the system so that you can keep a house over ur head and your kids fed and all your other financial obligations met, then so be it. you can call me the unemployment queen and i wouldn't give a fuck.
and that's my 2 cents. *walks out of thread to collect my unemployment check*
