Of course, you are absolutely right.  All these people are unemployed by choice, bc it is so easy to get temporary opportunities and there is no competition for short term contracts.[/quote]
I'm confident they are unemployed by choice - unless they are sick/disabled. Because anyone can deliver pizza, teach something to someone (even English to people from other countries over Skype). I'm sure people who stay completely unemployed for years do not really want to work and find every excuse not to: "Oh they are offering me just 150K and I need at least 250K. I'd rather keep watching TV 24/7".[/quote]

Agreed that anyone can do those jobs, but those jobs also have their own groups of people competing for them.  Some fast food places get many, many applications for a single opening and those places are far more likely to hire an 18 y.o. that needs that money than a 42 y.o. analyst who will leave as soon as they get a better position.

My friend's daughter just graduated college and she cant even find a retail job or a waitress job and she has been applying since January.

There are unemployed people in every demographic and many of them would take any job, its just that there arent enough jobs to go around.
