We have 100% employment in America. Anyone healthy who truly wants to work can find a job. The "official" unemployment is around 5%, which is considered close to full employment.

Some of my friends are in the construction industry. They all take "vacations" all winter and collect unemployment. Can't say I blame them. If you only make around $50,000 and you are layed off for 4 months there is no incentive to get a job.
