Unemployment rates are sky-high. But there ARE jobs out there - it's just a matter of swallowing your pride and taking a job that's "beneath" you. If, God forbid, I were to lose my job tomorrow, a job where I sit in a nice office, you better damn well believe I'm going to suck it up and take a job I don't want.
I don't want to work as a shit shoveler (example of undesirable job - use your own), but after I had searched for a length of time and found nothing I might enjoy or at least comparable to my job now, I'd have to shovel that shit until I could find something more suitable. It's a job that has to be done. THere are people looking for work. Perfect!
I know a person who has been jobless for 6 months now because she wants to make X amount of money in an X location doing X. Beggars can't be choosers! SHe's probably waiting for her unemployment to run out so she can get bailed out.
