There are jobs - but the jobs that are available most Americans aren't willing to do.

The only example of this that I can think of is if taking the job in question pays less than what they get on unemployment. I wouldn't expect anyone to do this, as unemployment is already less than what they were making on the job that they were laid off from in the first place.

When I separated from the military, it took me six months to find permanent work. I could have taken job that paid less than my unemployment well before that, but it doesn't make any sense. There are people with less qualifications and skills who need those jobs far more than I do.

But it won't matter for the military about our retention since they're going to have to start kicking peopleo out as part of budget cuts. That's not the point. The point is that people in the military see what the job market looks like on the outside, and they react to it by making whatever career decision that they make.
