There are a lot of jobs out there, many in rural areas and dirty.  They do offer a paycheck, but many do not want to move or get dirty.  You know, I think I like the dirty jobs better.  You can see things actually happening.

I also believe that everyone that can, should work.  In many cases, we as a Country will pay for the retraining.  I see little excuse.

I looked over the DOL release for August, that came out on the 12th myself.  Kind of sad numbers otherwise though.  With 388,000 less openings than July and over half that professional and business services.  That left 5.4 million openings, 5.2 million hires and 5.0 million separations.  Of the 1.6 million layoffs, government had the largest growth, healthcare and social assistance second, with State and local public education third.

This does not paint a very good picture.  With the loss of professional and business services openings, along with the layoffs in support and assistance.
