Stay tuned for President Obama's second term, a term where he will enjoy the absence of Republican obstructionism in a Congress controlled by Democrats.
I think we're going to see 2 years of an obstructionist Congress.
What if you apply for jobs and nobody will hire you? Were you assuming that everyone who wants to work can get a job?
More than 90% of the people who applied at McDonald's this year were not hired.
Then apply somewhere else. I've never been without work. It's not that difficult to find a job unless your avoiding one. If nobody will hire you then do something about it. If your above say 25 and haven't developed job skills to work then who's fault is that? I guess you could always join a union they take anybody as long as you pay your dues.
If you look at something called the beveridge curve, you can see unemployment rates graphed against job vacancy rates over time. Since 2009, job vacancy rates have been pretty high, especially for the amount of unemployment we have. There are definitely jobs out there.
Shoot, my husband's company has been trying to hire extra people for a while. Don't even need to have experience; just be legal and have a driver's license. But, it's really hard work that will require you to get your hands dirty. He even pays well above norm to get more people in the door. Most of them last one day or he doesn't even get enough people to apply with the most basic of qualifications. He's tried through the unemployment office and nothing! If someone really wanted to work, they would be happy to take these jobs but they don't. That's the reality.

How do you expect to get hired if you:
1. Show up to the interview dressed like a thug
2. Can't speak the Queen's english
3. Smell like you have been living in a smoke filled room
4. Tell the hiring manager that you can't work weekends
5. Tell the hiring manager that you won't work nights or early mornings
6. Are dependent on others to get you to work
7. Can't work a flexible or rotating schedule
8. Demand to make at least $15/hr

If it was that easy with all these jobs everywhere, then why are both sides complaining about there not being any jobs and the economy is in the tank because of it. By your admission, President Obama and Congress is doing a superb job and it just the fault of lazy Americans that refuse to work that is bringing down our economy.
