DON’T HIRE THE LONG TERM UNEMPLOYED?



I reported here once before that those who have been out of work for a lengthy period of time face hiring bias.  Selena Forte of Cleveland had been out of work for two years, but finally found a job she was suited for.  A recruiter for an employment agency told her she would not be considered for the job because she had been out of work too long.

COMMENTS:
As for the employment agency, it should go out of business.  As for the employer, I would sincerely like to know upon what basis they would determine that someone who has been out of work for two years is less qualified than someone who has been out of work for one day.  I would like to hear your argument and will publish it if you have the guts to argue this position. 

TODAY’S QUERIES & ANSWERS:
Q. I know you have said it and Darrell Issa from California is now claiming that the energy loans like Solyndra’s were motivated by campaign contributions.  Can he prove it, and if he does, what then? (Marlena ~ Cupertino, CA)
A. He can prove it if he gets honest answers in his investigation.  If he proves it, the liberal press will not report it.  Without a public outrage, Obama and company will probably get away with it. 

Q. California is nearly bankrupt, but I understand that Governor Jerry Brfown has just sign legislation that will allow illegal immigrants to get private scholarships and government education loans.  How can that happen?  (Terrie ~ Yuma, AZ)
A. Just because you’re about to file for bankruptcy doesn’t mean that your shouldn’t give an illegal alien more breaks, especially if you’re a liberal Democrat.  I mean, let’s drag everybody down, right?   

Q. California Governor Jerry Brown just signed legislation banning tanning beds for under 18 year-old people.   This was based on evidence that tanning salons can cause cancer.  In Texas, they made a similar law for age 16.  I don’t get it.  If it is true that they cause cancer, what does age have to do with it?  (Paula ~ Fresno, CA)
A. Duhhhhh, don’t ask me.  I’m not a politician.
