- With an admittedly small sample size of one, when I decided to take any job just to have a job I got one fairly quickly. - Dano Oct 18, 20:38 10
  - The situation varies greatly depending on your location and other factors. -- nm - Dano Oct 18, 20:40 9
    - Employers typically aren't often willing to hire "overqualified" people because they know you're not going to stay. -- nm - Reagen Oct 18, 20:44 8
      - Or they're required to pay you more than they're willing to. -- nm - nubby Oct 18, 20:51

        here is my question, honestly, if your choice was to stay on unemployment for 2 years - tRuMaN Oct 18, 21:47 1

        At the one year mark, you and I have the same issue with it. But up until then, it's not egregious. -- nm - Beryllium Oct 18, 21:23
      - (that sentence needed a few more qualifiers) -- nm - Reagen Oct 18, 20:48
      - I get the impression that my employer knows that the position I'm in is a high turnover job and hires accordingly. -- nm - Dano Oct 18, 20:47
- you do realize that taking a minimum wage job can cost more than they earn, IE: child care, trans costs, increased food costs (convience foods vs.. - zeitgeist Oct 18, 20:23 3
  - i'm not sure this has anything to do with what is being said. -- nm - TFox Oct 18, 20:25 1
    - This is something I often identify as zeitgeist's posting identity. Random statements that are tangentially related... somehow. -- nm - Qale Oct 18, 20:38
  - oh yeah, those apple picking jobs are 300 miles from here and its "up to 150 a day" which means some young apple picking machine could make that much - zeitgeist Oct 18, 20:25

      - right. -- nm - TFox Oct 18, 20:26 3
        
        Yeah, but he will get the blame or credit for it. No matter how much or little he does. - Bacon Oct 18, 20:27 2
        
        Much of his campaign is based on his ability to fix the economy. So he should get the blame or credit. - Fuzzy candy corn in the bottom of the bag Oct 18, 21:03
        
        the jobs bill is an attempt to pass the buck for some of it off on the Republican Congress, but yes. -- nm - TFox Oct 18, 20:30
