I was thinking this would be a buyers market so I am kind of confused about all of this.
I'm in the same boat. I wonder if the 99 weeks of $400-500/wk unemployment isn't really keeping job seekers from reentering the workforce. I have had 6 openings for 4 months and have only had 4 interviews to give. I hired one guy, one guy decided to be a cop and the other two were not willing to give up their search/unemployment for a $50k + traveling service engineer position. Crazy
