MOST AMERICANS DO NOT KNOW HOW TO HUSTLE!!
Let me say this again:

First, no one assumed anything, as the two gave enough "evidence" to remove all doubt.
Second, people arent literally meaning that there are ZERO jobs available.
And most importantly:
FISH ARE FRIENDS NOT FOOD!

Do you have a marketable skill, any at all? If so, you can find work. So you say businesses won't hire you, find individuals who will. Trust me, if you know how to sell yourself, you can never be unemployed. Understand this: Money does NOT disappear, it only gets transferred to those who know how to hustle or has a better hustle.

Yeah, the problem is that "skills" like cleaning house, washing cars, mowing lawns, picking up litter, shoveling snow, etc....those arent skilled positions...thats why in the past, low-payed, UNSKILLED laborers were hired to do those jobs. And since ANYONE can do these jobs anyway, people arent hiring "help" like they used to, its one of the first things that many cut back on.

And yes, you can do it, you just need to step outside of your comfort zone and do what it takes to make it happen. And you know, if people like your hustle, they want to hire YOU, and when they want to hire you, you can call the shots without having to settle, because you're letting them know you're not desparate for money. And being able to do that is an awesome feeling.
Bottom line, it's a matter of:
- Capitalizing on an ability that you can market yourself with
- Knowing how to market yourself
- Stepping outside of your comfort zone.
- Doing the job like a pro and being noticed for your efforts
I have a podcast that delves on this in more detail. PM if you're interested in getting the weblink.

I dont disagree with your advice, people need to polish their skills in this market.
I do disagree with the idea that its a snap to get hired if you really want to be.
