Those 7900 positions available include " seasonal employees in Lowe's stores, to team members in regional distribution centers, to miscellaneous positions in the corporate office."
Anyone who can't find a job in that length of time isn't trying to find work. How long does unemployment last now? With the extensions, isn't something like eight months that it can be stretched out?
Yeah, if you can't find a job in that amount of time, you aren't trying very hard.
Try telling that to my several neighbors who have been out of work for a year now. One is 58 years old.

I have been on unemployment once,lasted a few months and that was that.
But I am wondering what happens when benefits run out and you are still unemployed,what is the person supposed to do???
Jobless benefits run out in record numbers - CharlotteObserver.com (http://www.charlotteobserver.com/408/story/831920.html - broken link)
Find a foreclosed house hopefully with the water and electric still on, break in as clean as possible and camp out, or else look for the nearest tent city.

Or strip the house of anything valuable and sell it.
I believe when people are in dire straits this is considered understandable if not permissable.
Lazy bastard....he should be mowing someone's lawn.
Well according to your fellow friends on the left,unemployment is a lagging indicator...
Everyone is mowing their own lawns these days out here.
I'm aware that unemployment is a lagging indicator. However, your buds on the right think Obama should have everything fixed by now. According to them, it's all Obama's fault, and none of his predecessor's. Either that, or they go all the way back to Carter to lay blame.

Yeah, but it's not THREE YEARS lagging - more like a year at most.
Reagan DID cause unemployment to rise - just as he caused interest rates to shoot through the roof. In the case of both of these, they were more or less deliberate and were done to cool the economy off enough to rid it of inflation. It certainly cured the inflation (that had plagued Carter) - but it was at the cost of jobs and the overall economy. Once the inflation was tamed, then the economy was allowed to grow again - and the whole process took several PAINFUL years. As someone who voted Reagan (twice) I think it was a necessary evil at the time.

I consider it ALL of the people's fault.
We keep electing these fools and we keep buying into a system based upon debt.
Obama is no different to the rest,if you think he isn't you are part of the problem in my opinion.

Yup - like there were no GOP Presidents in between.
