Unemployed need not apply

The unemployed are unemployable.

Remember this catch-22 in hiring practices from 2012?

"Around the country, several newspapers have reported on signs put up at companies hiring new workers: "Unemployed need not apply." Apparently, employers fear that the unemployed will have to be retrained, their work ethic and their habits of punctuality relaunched. It is, some worry, too much baggage - far easier, when it's an employer's market, to simply pick from the active workforce." p29

People are such douche-fags.

American policy: 'It's better to lie, when everyone knows but can't prove it, than to tell the truth.'

You know public outrage caused employers to remove the statement from job postings, but it didn't change their hiring practices. Now you won't even know that you have zero chance of being hired when you apply. It's effectively worse for job seekers.

Americans are so fucking fake. Americans will be smiling and being nice to you on the surface acting like something will come of their empty promises and leaving you hanging until you give up of their own will so 'it's not them barring you, you left of their own choice' to avoid illegal discrimination.

"Legal experts told the Times that explicitly barring unemployed people from applying does not qualify under the statutory definition of discrimination, since unemployment is not a federally protected status like age or race. But the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission recently set out to establish whether employers were discriminating against certain protected groups because they are overrepresented in the ranks of the unemployed, such as African-American and older workers.

it sure feels unfair for the more than 6.3 million Americans who have been out of work for more than six months to be told they are automatically disqualified for the few openings that are out there. "I feel like I am being shunned by our entire society," Kelly Wiedemer, an unemployed information technology specialist, told the Times." http://news.yahoo.com/blogs/lookout/job-listings-unemployed-not-apply-133143362.html

All these legal, politically correct practices don't change the way people treat each other or solve prejudice. It just makes discrimination not spoken about, seen but not heard, denied, unproven, lying to your face, fake, flaky as fuck.
