general employment comment

after reading these comments, it's amazing how many people are looking for work..... to listen to the government, you'd think that everyone has a great job and is happy.

It really all depends on where you are located. Some states are doing good and some are doing bad. I'm a recruiter in MI and it is very bad here. I think we're second for the highest unemployment rate at something like 7 or 8%. This is bad for job seekers because it becomes an employers market and they can pay someone half what they were paying a few years ago. That is if you can land a job with so many job seekers out there.

The sad truth.
