The entire economy needs to be brought back to life. THEN people will hire.
For instance...BFT3K, are YOU going to go hire two extra cameramen, a full time site designer and a guy to make promo materials for your sites?
NO.
You don't NEED them. But if you did NEED them you would hire them. Why waste money on shit you don't need.
I can only laugh when I see people on news programs complaining that big companies are "sitting on tons of cash".
IT'S THEIR MONEY. They can do with it what they want!

I agree 100%. No matter what incentives and tax breaks are offered, no one will be hiring.
As long as the largest corps can hire cheap overseas labor, they will. As long as all of our US companies are turning into multi-nationals, American jobs are irrelevant, especially when US workers make more than $1 p/hour, and we (rightfully) require ANY environmental restrictions or employee safety measures.
As long as 20% of the US population are unemployed, or under-employed, the demand for good and services here in the US will be lower than usual, making us a tough market for anyone selling average goods... or unnecessary things, like adult website memberships.
With the imbalance of wealth that we have now, the only 2 big markets for the US are either cheap Chinese crap and cheap foods, or super expensive niche items for the super rich.
The US has had numerous recessions. We have made it through all of them by allowing the government to (temporarily) grow and spend, to help create middle class jobs, to help pull us out. Every time, we have increased taxes as well. This time around however, we face 3 uphill battles:
1) Our debt is very high now, so many people do not want to dig any deeper.
2) Globalism has made the US living wage appear too high for most multi-national CEOs.
3) The 2 parties in DC refuse to compromise, no matter what, because they only care about their own power, and no longer answer to the American people.
There is much more to this, but I don't have too much time right now. Maybe I'll revisit this post later, to add more.
