We need to cut bloated government salaries & benefits that are double the private sector so more teachers can be hired. Screw the public sector unions those salaries & benefits must be cut in half A.S.A.P. We need a large training effort to get job skills to match those needed by employers. We must tie unemployment benefits to job training, tech school, college etc.

All pretty good ideas.
Now try to convince our government to do that.
Just try, I dares ya'.

What about those who are unemployed cannot find a job but already have good viable job training/education? Should they not get unemployment?
It is not just the untrianed who cannot find jobs? Actually they can find jobs to fit their lack of skills easier than the more esperienced and trained ones.
You must mean November, right?
I'm informed that we need something like 160,000 new jobs every month just to absorb the new workers coming into the job market.
If that is the legit number than we need some number of new hires greater than 160K every month to beat down the unemployment numbers.
I can assure you that giving tax breaks to billionaires won't do that.
I'm not entirely sure what anybody can do to change this dynamic, either.
Not without radically changing the way we do business, at least, which, as we all know, isn't remotely on the table.
You mean the total adult civilian non-institutional population.Here's more info from the BLS report:
The total labor force population grew by 185K
The Labor Force grew by 103,000. The 82,000 is the change in the Not in the Labor Force category and that's NOT just people "no longer counted in the labor force" since many were probably never in the labor force. For Oct-Nov, 297,000 people entered the population as Not in the Labor Force (78k entered the pop as employed, 21k entered as unemployed, and 211k left the population) Source: Labor Force Status Flows82K are no longer counted in the labor force.
Absolutely true.Net Net - the economy is not growing at a rate to keep up with population growth, let alone make a dent in unemployment.
Length of unemployment has fuck all to do with any measure of unemployment except the U1 (unemployed more than 15 weeks). It's a question of looking or not looking for work. Someone out of work for 6 years is still counted as unemployed if they're currently looking for work. Someone fired last week is not if they haven't started looking yet. Someone not looking for work, regardless of length of time, won't be in the U3, but might be in the U4, or 5 (and thus the U6 which includes everyone in the U4/5).U6 unemployment remains at 17%, which can only be done by excluding more long term unemployed from the stats.
Not much incentive for a person drawing $400.00 a week in unemployment to go out and land one of those minimum wage jobs. Why work for anything when you can get something for nothing? I have a neighbor who collects unemployment and he is doing stuff under the table. By doing this, he is actually making more money than he was making when he was working full time. I am sure that there are lots of scammers just like him out there yelling and screaming to keep their unemployment checks coming in. There are people yelling and screaming that extending the unemployment benefits will only increase the deficit by about 12 billion and extending the Bush tax cuts will cost even more in terms of increasing the deficit. Well, I have a novel idea. Let's not do anything that we cannot actually pay for and quit riding the free pony. There is no difference in borrowing the money from China to pay for unemployment benefits than it is for any other reason. It's time to suck it up and pay as you go or DON'T GO.
