Only the Employed need apply

I don’t know if it is true or not but there having been reports recently that there is this talk of the unemployed need to apply for the jobs advertised. It is an outrage of the highest magnitude since it is a double slap on the face of the unemployed in terms of first being unemployed and second being not able to apply to a job since they are unemployed. Apparently some of the employers think that if you are unemployed so such and such time it is either your fault that you got laid off or your skills have rusted by being laid off for such a long time.

I know it is a employers market right now and they have a large pool of people both unemployed and those employed who wants to change jobs so they can dictate and pick and choose whatever people they want to, but if this is true than it is shame because this economic recession has spared no one, whether less experienced or highly experienced.

So the more there is discrimination regarding the unemployed, the more people will remain out of a job, the more economy will grow slowly and the more people will become angrier and toss out the politicians who are not helping them with their jobs.
If the economy is not growing because of the stubborn joblessness then no company will remain insulated from recession. Whether overt or hidden, discrimination of all sorts should end and the people should be given a chance to prove their worth to organization otherwise the unemployment will remain high, no matter what the policies are made.
