Unemployed need not apply

Is your company hiring? LOL

My company was in a constant struggle to hire and keep good software devs, despite paying 6 figure salaries to people in their 20s.

Common problem in IT, but I'm sure you're aware of it since part of your compulsive liar program is to claim you are constantly checking the salaries of other careers so you can post on here and make an ass of yourself.

Of course American corporations aren't hiring the unemployed. If they can, they'll avoid hiring ANYBODY.

If it's a factory position, particularly a well-paid factory position, they'd much rather hire one of THESE guys, and avoid paying benefits, social security, pension plan, and 401K.

It's a common problem now because in the first three years of this millennium the H1-B temporary worker visa program was greatly expanded to 190,000 per year. Those cheaper temporary foreign workers replaced trained, educated American graduates in every STEM field (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math). Because H1-B visas are good for three years and can be renewed once for a total of six years, the glut of foreign workers in the market reduced demand for American STEM graduates through 2009; and the post-2008 recession kept demand for STEM workers low until recent years.

Now American corporations need STEM workers again... but the stench from the earlier betrayal has warned those of us who are good at math, engineering, and programming away from fields where employers are likely to arbitrarily replace us with cheaper temporary workers from India, Pakistan, or Indonesia.

Why should American students accumulate massive debt to earn degrees that will be in high demand until the year of their graduation, when Congress could vote another expansion of the H1-B program and make the degrees they worked so hard to earn worthless?

You see, there is no actual LACK of Americans who are talented in programming and technology. We were simply forced into other fields, like real estate and retail sales.

Republicans like to blame all the unemployed on Obama but they don't ask the corporations they serve to stop the practice of not hiring people who are out of work.

Corporations are being really picky. I think they like unemployment high. It keeps wages down. I remember an article years ago explaining that's what Greenspan said it was his responsibility to keep wages low they need unemployment to be high but not too high.

Wages and employment are being kept down because employers are being strangled by the cost of Obamacare. Ever think of that?

That's a good point. All I see now when I look for work is

1. Part-time jobs
2. Low paying jobs

Why any distinction between full time and part time for benefits purposes? Shouldn't it be pro-rated by hours worked.

That's what should happen to the international corporations. No duty free.

international corporations are heroic for trying to bring us the lowest prices in the world to improve our standard of living at the fastest possible rate.

We could do that faster and buy even more products by lowering corporations tax burden--by simplifying unemployment compensation taxes into a general tax.

yep, we could have 40 million new jobs tomorrow with upward pressure on wages if liberals would ship the illegals home and eliminate the corporate tax!!

dear, that is a false dilemma. we have to eliminate a natural rate of unemployment by using socialism to bailout capitalism's, laissez-fair laziness regarding full employment of resources in the market for labor.

Yes most people get a job from help from someone they know. It's why blacks are at a disadvantage.
.

of course thats 100% liberal and stupid. In 1948 black teenage unemployment was lower than white unemployment, now it is 2 times as high thanks to all the liberal interventions.

Do you understand?

you mean like, conservative, Jim Crow?

And miss out on the entertainment of some moron on the internet who tries with straight face to say he's a social worker but constantly looks for jobs in every other career and has inside knowledge that the thousands of jobs at Philly's largest employers are all word of mouth but they put out hiring ads that are fake.

Can't pass up shit like that.

Most Big Employers fill positions from employee referrals and temp agencies you potted plant

Prove it. You've already demonstrated you'll fabricate information and your favorite source is yourself, so unless you have something better I'll just assume it is more bullshit.

You do know some organizations don't even advertise to the public?

Regardless of how any employer decides to fill a position, the position is filled. Even if they hire the CEO's paramour, it is one more person who was (presumably) without work and now is gainfully employed. So it's a Plus-One for the economy.

From an overall societal standpoint, it doesn't matter how the choice is made.

If an employer has a policy that they won't hire someone who is currently unemployed, the ripple effect remains. The person who is hired by company A leaves his position in company B, thus creating a vacancy there. They have to fill it.

Current employment status is a legitimate consideration for any employer to notice. One can only hope that they are rational and accept the possibility (likelihood) that the person is unemployed through no fault, but rather due to factors outside her control. But even if the employer is stupid or close-minded, how the position is filled is irrelevant, statistically speaking.

I lost my job four times over the years due to cutbacks, reorganizations, and so on, and NOT ONCE did an employer indicate to me that there was a concern about my being unemployed when they hired me. In fact, they were happy that my negotiating position was compromised, and they could get away with paying me at the bottom of the scale.

Yes unfortunately you have no negotiating power when you are unemployed without any income

Yes I do know this.

You do know the fact some organizations don't advertise to the public doesn't support your ridiculous claim that SEPTA, PCA, Penn Medicine, PECO, PGW, and COMCAST only hire via referrals and put fake help wanted ads.

No one has never gotten hired from Septa without a connection

Says the forum bullshitter. When you can prove this without your only source being yourself let us know.

Do you think a organization is going to reveal publicly they only hire from the inside?

You are a stupid mutherfucker
