No, there aren't many jobs to be had right now and companies are much more interested in hiring people who still have jobs than the unemployed. It's especially nasty because retailers have done very little seasonal hiring this year, I just hope that also means they do very little seasonal firing come January.

I'm not saying that there aren't a decent number of people on unemployment who aren't actually looking for work, I've met a couple of people who would much rather collect $300 a week from the government and play xbox than do hard labor for $400 a week.
