Local, state and federal agencies make it too difficult to start or expand a business. Too many taxes, fees, regulations etc....we need to get back to basics. Eliminate workman comp. insurance (unless the employee wants to pay for it), unemployment insurance, FICA tax (only paid by employee), massive elimination of regulations.
I agree with ya.
Also the lack of money. Consumers have less money to spend which hurts some industries. We need to get money flowing back down the lower and middle classes. It'll be the best thing for the economy.
I hear people saying that to get a job they had to hound the manager by calling every single day until they hired them or even got an interview. Are people really having to do this? That's insane. Even for such a low paying job.
Nothing wrong with "One follow up' but anything more than that is just crazy
Exactly right. It is not enough that an applicant WANTS a job. The employer must NEED the person applying. The applicant must sell themselves and prove the value they bring to the position. Great potential employess can get hired at a company even if the company has no openings or needs. A job will be created just so the person does not get away.
Our company did just that. They created a job for someone who interned for us over two summers while getting his degree. He is extremely bright, very willing, and has an excellent attitude. Now, after completing his degree this past December, he has a good paying job, and a future (if he wants it) with a company that will never go out of business.
You gotta reach out and grab that brass ring as it goes by, otherwise it'll just keep going by.
Tired of people always blaming the government for why nobody can find jobs. Employers are the problem. HELLO. They have the jobs. Plenty of jobs are out there, but employers have decided to make it impossible for people to get hired. It doesn't matter what job it is. Even fast food. If you are unemployed you know how it goes.
HELLLOOOO.... The money that could have been used to hire more people went to Obama and Washington.

High IQs are not the normal IQs. Most people don't possess such IQs. The majority have normal IQs, and there are very few positions around. Where there are few jobs, the minority possessing high IQs will have a gigantic advantage.
We have college grads that haven't been able to find work for years. Most chronically unemployed people are perfectly capable workers and are just not given a chance. These people have every right to have a bad attitude! All you people making fun of the op for his attitude should try being unemployed for over a year. I bet your attitude would be bad too.
Blah, Blah, Blah. Lefties all want everything handed to them. They feel they are owed the world and that is plain BS!
You want to blame the business owners when the left has zero knowledge of economics or business ownership. It takes a lot of time to own and operate a successful business, and a lot of risk. Often times employees are paid and owners are not. You have to weigh the cost of insurance, business set up, marketing, profitability and your break even point, among so many other factors. In this disasterous economy BO has created, it is very difficult to own a small business and be successful. You have to always be creative and stay ahead of competitors and customer satisfaction is paramount. Successful business owners do not clock out at 5pm.
If you have been out of work so long, why don't you take the risk and start your own business....and here's a thought...hire everyone whom needs a job just because that is the 'right' thing to do. See if ya can figure out how to handle those costs.
After reading your rant it is obvious which side of a pay check you are used to signing. Why are you blaming the employers and not the government? You know nothing of what you say! As an employer, you would be the last person I would hire, if I knew how you think (or in this case, don't think). No one is going to pay you more than the minimum wage you may think you deserve...
Never said I personally was owed high wages. After reading your brain dead response it is obvious why so many people are out of work. You are the typical right winger and the typical employer. Strong message, but weak critical thinking skills and failure to understand logic and reasoning.

Oh yeah, that's easy! Start a business! Voila! Easy peasy! Just work reeeeally hard.
