If somebody cant find a job today they have a problem. There are jobs that go unfilled every day all across this country. Everything from warehouse to health care to IT positions. Yes many of them are "service oriented" positions, but there also are many jobs that are technical and higher paying as well.

I am making more today than I was 2 years ago and will make more in the years to come, its called an education, I was laid off when the company i worked for closed (poor management), I found out about a program in my state that would pay for schooling for those that were laid off, I took advantage of it and now have a degree in Network Administration with a very bright future. Its all about taking advantage of the programs that ARE out there to help people find work, get educational assistance for a career change, etc.

Your example is one of the success of government re-training of unemployed workers, during the 50's the GI bill provided a free college education to anyone who served in the armed forces during WWII, which was virtually every male from 18 to 35. This coupled with no money down low interest VA mortgages, created college educated homeowners who in turn fed a great economic expansion.
Your individual work ethic is a part of your success, but without the government provided training, where would you be? Would you have paid for it yourself?
