re: Tell me why I should feel sorry for long term unemployed who don't want to move?

they may have family obligations that means taking care of or looking after sick or elderly family members.

Well they're not unemployed due to lack of job opportunities then. They have other obligations. Which is fine. But don't complain about lack of wages.

They may have children who have special needs who would be disrupted if they move

Many make the sacrifice to be separated from their families while they work. You don't have to move your family.

Some people may have obligations to their church and feel a calling from the Lord to stay in their community.

Great. Church community can help out then.

Some may be divorced and do not want to move away from their children and not have the frequent visits that are important.

I agree that it sucks. But when it comes down to it some have made this sacrifice so they can better support their families while others sit on their arse complaining.
