Welcome to the new leisure society, Thom. You're working too hard. ;-) From the article: "The longer a worker is unemployed, the farther he or she falls behind in sellable skills in a fast-paced global economy." The term "sellable skils" (probably should be "salable skills") tells it all. In a capitalist society everyone has to have something to sell. IOW, we're all basically a prostitute. The trick is to find something you enjoy doing that someone or everyone wants. Either buying your time or your product. As for "any old job" we're probably running out of those with a world population of 7 billion people. Apparently the majority aren't bright enough to figure that out so they'll just keep pounding their heads against the wall.
