Jobless Claims Sink To Near 43 Year Low

5. Well, in California, there are TONS of available jobs where I am at.

And you only need to work 40 hours a week, with good benefits.

Granted, It is working for a Socialist Government Job, but if you don't mind that, there are plenty. My group needs 14 IT people, (8 on a help desk, 4 programmers and 2 SharePoint Admins) and that is a very small part of the State Government. Sacramento County has many openings, and I am sure that the city does as well. And we have people retiring all the time opening up more positions and many other non IT positions as well. (I am a programmer) There are just WAY too many positions available out there.

I know that people cant just move to California on a whim, but maybe your own State Government has a ton of openings (maybe not some Red States like Kansas, but others for sure.) And if your state doesn't, then maybe you should all vote in Democrats instead of having Repubs obstructing job openings.

It gets harder and harder for me to feel for those unemployed and underemployed when there are just too many jobs that pay well out there, and no IT experience isn't a good excuse. If you are online and understand even the basics of a computer, you can find a place in IT.
