What causes unemployment?

[Caliga]

I never post while I'm working.

Same (not amymore).  My new company treats me so well I'd feel too bad about being non-productive while I'm at work.

To vastly oversimplify, Keynesians would say unemployment is caused by insufficient demand, whereas a Monetarist or member of the Austrian school would say it's caused by the slowness with which the supply of and demand for labor react to changes in conditions.

And a rational person would say that Keynesians have it right, and that members of the Austrian school are charlatans.

Damn good point.  Wish I had considered that.

I wish lots of Republicans had considered that.

I work from 0545 to 1700. No overtime.
The military sucks.

My usual day is also 11+ hours of work, no overtime.

[The Brain]

Ironic that the mighty Mart admits to being the same as the loser brutes in the military he despises so much.

[Tonitrus]

I work from 0545 to 1700. No overtime.
The Army sucks.

I work from 0755 to 1500. (with a 1hr 20 minute lunch)

And maybe an hour or two of homework.

I have a degree from a decent state school, 3.49 GPA, Honors Program, 6 months studying abroad, internship experience, 2 years working as an English teacher abroad, and conversational skills in German and Korean. I've applied to government jobs, contractor jobs, admin assistant, secretarial, and landscaping jobs, and gotten none of them. Tell me what job I should apply for, since I apparently feel "entitled" to those jobs and don't deserve them. And I'm not alone in my position.

Stop whining!  Work harder!  THE SOD MUST FLOW.

And while I'm ranting and raving, I want to register my absolute disgust at the current Republican party. Their entire response to this mess has been to blame the victims (unemployed) and push only for tax cuts for the wealthiest and for corporations. Fuck them, and double-fuck Rep. Cantor, who tried to prevent FEMA disaster relief even for the counties in his district suffering from flooding.

Well, at least he isn't being a hypocrite.
