    Joe you are right in a way.There are quite a lot of people who would love a job and cannot find one.There are also those who cant afford to get a job as it would pay less than the benefits they recieve due to family size etc.My dad looked for job for 15 years and could not get one.He was a postmaster.The age thing is also a factor.These days companies like to employ nice young types with lots of degrees so the older ones are pretty much screwed.As I said before it is an employers market these days and will continue to be so for a while yet.I have read in the news there is going to be another bad recession next year again.I was always lucky to have a job and I have been on benefits before and its not very nice but as someone said to me a while back."keep knocking on the doors and at some point it will come good"Thats what I did and I have been blessed.I do realise that jobs are hard to come by these days and whoever has a job should be grateful to have one

    I would certainly agree with the 'ageism' factor Robbie.
