Hmph.

Listening to the radio this morning, I almost called in because I was so mad. The topic of conversation was unemployment, receiving unemployment and people taking advantage of unemployment they're receiving and not job searching.

For the man who called in, and anyone else who thinks the same as he does, for starters "there are plenty of jobs out there, people just aren't looking" is NOT true in all cases. Yes, there are some jobs out there, but so many people are applying that it is very difficult to actually get an interview.

"People are living off their unemployment and using it as an excuse not to job search." Well buddy, college graduates do not receive unemployment just for graduating. College grads who are job searching do not have any income at all. So no, that is also not true.

And lastly, "anyone can get a job if they look" is just not true in this economy. Please don't assume I am lazy, receiving unemployment, and planning on relying on tax payer dollars while I sit back, relax and coast through life.

I am an unemployed college graduate and cannot wait for my job searching to pay off so I can finally begin my career!

Okay, rant over.
