I have been reading about the many manufacturing jobs available in this country, that are unfilled. Why is no one interested in doing this work? They are skilled jobs, of course your hands may get dirty, but people would be working. They stated the reason there are not more manufacturing jobs is we do not have the skilled workforce to fill them. These companies are begging for help,and many said they will train people.

It is high time people got off their high horse, thinking everyone should be a lawyer or doctor and get back to the real world and earn a living. I would like to see the government cancel all unemployment benefits until there was not a single open job position of any kind. Get out there and do something, to pay your own way, when I see things available, and people still complaining about the lack of jobs I have no sympathy for any of them. People are sorry who think so many jobs are below them, but accepting a government handout is not.

Unending benifits is what is at play. Why work if your getting things for free? I guess you havn't listened to obama and biden. Apparently to them unemployment benifits stimulate the economy.

We have people in politics, unions, and schools filling kids' heads with propaganda that claims that, without a college diploma, you can't amount to anything.

No takers, because there are no jobs.

It's all a lie.

A plumber who knows what he's doing and doesn't try to rip you off is worth about 5 PhD's...

There ARE no jobs.

And, yes, people spending money does stimulate the economy, whether it comes from jobs or unemployment benefits.

Of course, jobs are preferable. No one will dispute that.

It's just that...

There ARE no jobs.

My sister and her boyfriend had no problems getting on at a tire plant. They are always hiring.

There are jobs. But its more complicated than that. Granted a lot of them are technical and require skill and/or education. Many companies just put these out there because its the law when the really want to bring in h1b1 workers because the can't "find" anybody qualified.
