I don't think it has very much to do with laziness but of course you can't deny that there is a small element of it. The upcoming changes in the benefit system will force many of the lazy into work.
Over the next year the public sector will lose half of a million jobs. That's more people being dumped on the unemployment market.
Yes, the economy is growing again but when you consider where it is coming from it is wrong to assume an instant positive change to the job market.
Also employers are by no means certain of the financial turmoil that surrounds us espeicially in the Euro zone.
Whatever you choose to believe there is one underlining FACT:
There are currently far more unemployed than there are available jobs, no matter how the government try to sex up the figures.
Anyone here looking for a job keep you head up, keep trying and don't loose hope.
Take what Squillian said into account, a pretty CV wouldn't work in my office as we are told to always focus on the content but good content and a pretty CV can't be bad.
