The economy&#8217;s so bad and the pool&#8217;s getting so large, in fact, that companies are finding that they can get away with explicitly stating that they&#8217;re not interested in hiring the unemployed (as Hot Air notes, long-term unemployed individuals are historically more of a risk than the employed). This is upsetting a bunch of people, because it&#8217;s not actually illegal to do this. What&#8217;s not explicitly said in the article is that the young are the ones who are really going to take it in the chin, since a lot of companies are taking a blanket &#8220;no-unemployed at all&#8221; policy in order to keep this simple.]]>Fri, 04 Mar 2011 19:00:48 -0500<![CDATA[Moe Lane]]>https://redstate.com/moe_lane/2011/03/04/no-unemployed-need-apply-n38185
