When told that companies aren't hiring the unemployed, your reaction might be: So what's new? There has been an age old maxim that it is easier to find a job when you have a job. And that makes sense. Everyone likes a winner and a busy person, and an unemployed person may (unfairly) seem like neither.
But when you realize that companies are systematically using unemployment as a way to cut applicants,the problem takes on bigger proportions. It really is unfair; anyone can hit a snag and be let go. That doesn't mean they are useless and worthless and dead weight. See this article from CNN.
How are unemployed people supposed to support themselves? It just seems too awful.
