The real problem from what I heard is that most of the open jobs are retail and fast food etc, so a majority of people who made $20 an hour aren't going to work retail and make half that just to become employed. The job replacing the job they lost has to have a equal amount of income, otherwise why bother working when you can get paid for not working?
Keep in mind Obamadminstration is extending unemployment benefits for another year, so they have till January 2012 to find a job.
It's just that simple.
