Well you can talk all night about the statistics of unemployment and the ratio of job seekers to jobs available but I think a good number of people could get jobs if they wanted a job. I was watching the local news the other night and they were doing a story about a job fair for a company (might have been more than one company) that was hiring for various jobs in support of the oil fields in South or North Dakota, they also had job openings in other parts of the country and around the world. Several people walked out with job offers that day. The news then switched to a story about the Occupy Seattle with all the protesters and showed their signs about wanting to work. I think some of those people could find work if they really wanted to or needed to, it may not be the exact job you want or location but when you need to pay your bills you and feed your family you should take whatever job you can get (at least I would).
