Let's say that everyone job opening got filled. In November we had 4 million job openings. In December there were 10.4 million unemployed. Even in this perfect world scenario what do we do with the 6.4 million that there is no job for? What about the people who can't work for whatever reason? Are these the ones we let starve? Maybe put them down because they're obviously Takers?
You or someone counted every single job opening in America? Or is that just an estimate based on 1000 calls?
