While there maybe some person’s who are abusing unemployment insurance benefits, I believe that the comments made by Mr. Beck are wholly insensitive to the plight of persons who are unemployed. When was the last time Mr. Beck was unemployed? How long has it been since Mr. Beck had to make ends meet and robbed Peter to pay Paul? Yes, there is more job seekers than jobs but employers have not been making job searching any easier. Employers are asking for college degrees to do custodial work, 5 years experience just to be a department store cashier, and openly requiring applicants to be presently employed for consideration for a job. The goal is to find the best suited candidate and employers are being so selective and restrictive to the point of being biased. Think before speaking Mr. Beck and have some sensitivity unemployment is tearing the fabric of everyday America and its families. A group of people you are obviously out of touch with.
