The unemployed remain unemployed because the system is really set up against them.  I am starting to understand this more and more as my unemployment period continues.  Yesterday I was at a hiring event for a local company.  There were about 5 human resources individual from the company speaking with over 100 people that showed up to apply for a position.  Continue reading along to find out what important policy change needs to be made in order to fix this problem and get qualified people back to work.

I had just been called to the table to speak with someone from human resources at the hiring event.  It was a long table and there were people on both sides of me.  Since I was only inches away from these folks, I could hear their conversations as well.  My human resources representative excused himself to get a drink of water and what I heard next to me sounded very positive.  The lady interviewing for the position was told that she was extremely qualified and her interview was going well.  The company rep obviously liked what she was hearing from this lady.  She had her fill out paperwork to officially apply for the position.  When the applicant got to the section about credit she stopped and told the company rep that she had some credit problems due to her long period of unemployment.
