July 14, 201016 yr You know I love you acemona, but stop reading those rags you do, they are brainwashing you. Here is real world from today Wednesday July 14, 2010. In Northern Kentucky-an HR person told me by chance this morning that she called 150 people that had applied for a job-2 people showed up for the interview, and the one they hired decided the day before she was to work it wasn't worth it vs. the unemployment she was making. This was an office type position imputing reports on an excel spreadsheet. $12-$14 per hour.

Yeah, Northern Kentucky has shown itself to be weathering the recession much better than the rest of the state, so I don't know if that's a valid example. A few months back, there was an entry-level position open in my department. Usually an opening like this would get a handful of interested people — 10 or fewer. This time around, dozens upon dozens upon dozens of resumes came in applying for the position, most of them grossly overqualified in terms of skills and experience. For the overqualified ones, it was simply an opportunity to get back in the game, even at a discount.
July 14, 201016 yr Full time or part time History ? I believe it was 30 hours a week to start and then to go full time after a probation period. The position is in Florence.

An HR person is saying they had a ton of applicants for a position (probably some are unemployed saying they are just trying to get back in the game). One of you is saying that some people are overqualified. One is saying that people won't take the job they applied for. It's the same point being made. Some people on UE are applying for jobs they are overqualified for. Some people are offered those positions. Some will take them just to be working again. Some will take them or turn them down depending on how much time they have left getting UE benefits. Some turn them down b/c they are making really close to the same amount of money not to work. (I'm not implying all people, especially if they are your friends, aren't looking for work). I am saying however that people turn down jobs that are offered after they applied for them, then they wonder later why they can't get jobs they are overqualified for. Maybe it's b/c the HR people at companies are tired of trying to hire an UE person and getting turned down b/c they feel they are overqualifed.

Maybe it's b/c the HR people at companies are tired of trying to hire an UE person and getting turned down b/c they feel they are overqualifed. I see what you mean. In my scenario, however, people actually showed up for the in-person interviews (about a dozen different people, by my count), and of the overqualified people — many of whom I knew personally — likely all would've taken the job, had it been offered.
July 14, 201016 yr the lazy bums http://yglesias.thinkprogress.org/2010/07/job-openings-per-worker/ So, no one that's out of a job is because they're lazy?
July 15, 201016 yr Author http://blog.heritage.org/2010/07/14/oh-no-you-didnt/ Matter of philosophy. There is no demand for goods, because people don't have money to buy them. Adding to the deficit is not "moving money from one sector to another" it is borrowing. If we do not extend the UE benefits there will be even less money to spend and the demand will go down even further and the economy will collapse. That is pretty simple. Goldman Sachs does not produce jobs. As a matter of fact they are not even lending to small businesses, etc. They are worried about profit. Why would somebody hire somebody to produce something, if there is not a demand for the goods. Supply side vs Demand side, the lingering debate.
July 15, 201016 yr And when Obamas tax increases hit next year families will have even less to spend... Then on top of that if Obama gets his cap and tax legislation families will again have even less to spend on goods.... Sound economics???
