Had government offered me almost equal money not to work, I never would have applied.
"There are no jobs!" people I interviewed waiting in line for benefits in New York City once told me.
People in the unemployment line also said that the government should do more to train them for jobs.
New York already offered "Job training" centers, so I sent an intern out to see what they did.
The boss there told her she'd wasted her time going to the government Jobs Center because she could have gotten that same interview using Craigslist.
"If you're ... offered a suitable job, you can't refuse that job and just keep getting unemployment," he said.
Too bad. Bad for all of us when people think they're entitled to our tax money if bureaucrats don't get them the exact job they want.
