For most folks, if that's what they expect out of the job market, they'll be waiting a very, very long time.

This is a discussion of general unemployment with no consideration to age, race, gender, social class, education level, income level, family responsibilities, etc. "If A then B." I want you to dig back in that intro-level course and find the "...and sometimes C."
I think we ALL understand that we have some level of choice and responsibility even is something isn't completely our doing/fault. That's also what Anthony Giddens' "structuration theory" (structure and agency) is about. We aren't robots, but are agents of choice even in the social structure. But, if that basic understanding of humanity is what you're stuck on then I feel really sorry for you. Many many many years ago I had a similar "you should've chosen better" approach to some social issues and then I took my head out of my ass and observed the social world.
