Why is unemployment up?

Question

Why is unemployment up?

Answer 1

Because the price of everything is up.  Employers tend to get rid of the "dead wood" in companies.  People who cost companies more than they bring in.  Consequently, employers are less willing to take a chance on employees who might take a long time to produce or not at all.  However, there will always be work for people who earn the company money.

Answer 2

Because our Jobs are going overseas and the jobs that are staying here are going to illegals because the American people don't want those jobs.  It is also our faults that our children are getting toys with lead paint!!

Basically it is called the trickle down affect and America is the one that is getting trickled down on!!!

Answer 3

A general lack of willing, educated workers.
