I don't really get it. 'Creating' jobs isn't a responsibility of the gov't. I completely fail to understand political movements for 'creating' jobs.<p>If you can't figure out how to remove over qualifications for flipping burgers I just don't know what to say.<p>An Engineer friend of mine was in a similar position, he kept getting rejected for basic jobs because he was 'overqualified' I told him to remove the engineering jobs from his resume and his Engineering degree. After that he got the shipper/reciever job he wanted.
This is quite confusing, I might be daft.<p>Phrase ''one of'' automatically forces me to think in the terms of ratio 1:xx or fraction 1/xx.<p>""One of 31million is unemployed in America"" sounds obviously to good. 1/31million, with 310million population, would mean that only 10 people are out of work.<p>""one of five applicants for a job opening"": so if I look at CV/resume, 20% of them are from unemployed?<p>Quite misleading, since this doesn't look right.
"One of the five people applying for each job opening"<p>So, if every person who somehow becomes unemployed applies for more than five jobs, these two stats would together imply an amazing market for job seekers, right? I hate stats like this because they are meaningless by themselves and, perhaps more importantly, seem chosen with intent to mislead.
