I agree with your statement about government programs keeping people poor. And we need more jobs etc..but the *war* on poverty has been going on now for 50 years. There have been some incredible booms in the economy over that period where employers couldn't find enough people to work.
Right now, my company is hiring. A number of businesses in our industrial park are hiring and we are not seeing applicants. A few weeks ago we hired a new OTR sales person. This is a great job. I thought we were going to see hundreds of applicants as we listed the starting wage in the ads. We saw 4 people.
