When we say things like "didn't take jobs" that implies that there were jobs for the taking. There were not a lot of unfilled jobs out there, so how could unemployment benefits have any affect on whether or not an individual got a job?
If there were a bunch of unfilled jobs and people were choosing to continue unemployment benefits instead of applying for those jobs, I could understand the point. But nothing in the article or anywhere else I've read says that there were a bunch of unfilled jobs just waiting for unemployed applicants. Cheers, Judah On Tue, Jan 27, 2015 at 1:15 PM, C.
