The rhetoric is that everyone online are nothing but Not Educated, Employed or Trained. This is far from the truth. Most are actually post high school, in college or just finished their first two years. So they are indeed educated, if not trained in some form or another. Not everyone is trained but most are or in training.

So why are there still a huge amount of unEmployed? Are you actively looking for work? Are you willing to work? There is said to be a 4.3% employment rate in America alone and the number feels much higher. Many jobs are shipped over seas to off shore companies which takes most of our labor force here in this country.

No matter the side of which you are on, left or right. You don't work, you don't eat. How is shipping your job to someone else a good thing? It's not.

But the job market seems to fluctuate greatly in the jobs it tries to support. Be it working in steel, utilities and infrastructure which is mostly blue collar, or working in science, technology and research with is white collar. And the diffrence of people is that no one is built the same, some are more physical and others more intellectual. Not saying either can't to the others job, I am saying their talents place them elsewhere.

But when you are growing up as a child you have little choice as you are dependent on your parents till you can get out on your own. So if you come from a coal mineing town, then the education is greatly around coal. If you are a brawny type this might be a good thing, however it isn't if your talents are more so to pushing pencils. (figure of speech). So growth of a nation seems to be halted by the fact that it has no incentives to allowing the youth to find placement in the workforce and anyone trying to change over their jobs, say when one industry collapses.

So I guess the real question is, how many are not willing to work, but able to work?
