The first answer is correct people arent qualified for those jobs. The high unemployment numbers are most likely from those with low education levels and skills such as factory workers or labourers which account for the high unemployment.

Our unemployment rate is not measured by counting the job opening on USA Jobs, but the applications for unemployment benefits. During the recession, the government as a match-maker has tried very hard to bring the unemployed persons to the suitable jobs. Training and retraining have been provided for years. Some economists confirm that such a situation means a structural unemployment, not seasonal or cyclical one. Many persons have stopped looking for jobs.And they are the only persons who contributed to the reduction of the unemployment rate so far.

Many jobs are sales jobs, you are paid only for how much product you sell.

Think car salesman. In a bad economy this doesn't guarantee you income as a minimum wage job would. There is a chance you might not even sell anything to anyone in a sales position.

There are also jobs that require a degree to even be considered for the position. There are lots of them. Many of them have ridiculous requirements like: must have a PhD, must have 10 years experience in C programming language.

A high school diploma doesn't mean anything anymore. I have one, I still can't get a job. I have taken difficult Bachelors Science classes from an accredited university: science, math, programming. I took sciences as opposed to humanities courses. Companies don't seem to care unless it is packaged as an associates degree or bachelors. Credits by themselves don't count (even if you have a degree worth of course credits).

It seems like the only way to get a job in a bad economy is if you had a job before the recession hit. Employers treat strangers cruelly. They always want you to have experience and education one level or 2 levels above what the job actually requires. For example internships are basically entry level office work, yet they want you to be some kind of college student studying that field to do so.

It's just ads published to pretend the economy is doing well. Are you an employer btw ?

no most people arent lazy. a lot of those jobs are temporary contract jobs or a lot of people aren't qualified for them. or sometimes they dont pay a lot at all

i've gone through and called on those jobs most are sales scams try it, you'll see
