That sounds good on paper, but the percentage only registers how many people in America are receiving unemployment compensation. It does not include those who have reached the six-month limit and are still looking for work, nor does it point out those who lost high-paying full-time jobs and are now working low-paying part-time jobs to try & make ends meet.

Is unemployment at 5.5%. I think laziness accounts for about 5.3% of that leavinf .2% actually unemployed. I am sorry but there are many, many opportunities out there. What incentive is there to work as long as we have so many social programs?
