quote:Depressing. Our tax dollars at work.
I met a recruiter—a man whose job it is to find employees for businesses and put unemployed people into new jobs—and he described the trade-off pretty well. Stacey Reece was his name, and he said that in 2009 his clients again had jobs to fill. But he ran into a hurdle he hadn't seen before. People would apply for jobs not with the intention of accepting it, but to demonstrate to the unemployment office that they were looking for work.

I had a nurse making $17/hr here in South Arkansas which is damn good for the area (Lpn), but was better off me laying her off and going on unemployment and Obamacare. I paid her premiums, but skyrocketing insurance premiums on her husband with health issues and two sons, one with newly dx'd seizures, made it the best decision by far to make ends meet. Plus she can work cash free side jobs during the time she'd normally be working and paying arse loads of taxes. The system is fricked. When people are better off not working than working, the system is complete shite. You have to be a fricking idiot to see it any other way. There should always be a reward for production. Always.
