Case in point, my GF interviewed for an office manager position yesterday. The company that put the ad in the paper a few days ago told her that they've received over 200 resumes for that one position.
So are the 199 people that don't get hired for this job lazy?
I had a friend that answered a ad in the paper for a graphic designer. There were 500 resumes turned in and interviewed 8 people out of that 500. The thing is (probably like your GF). She would rather collect unemployment then work at a fast food resturant. If with out unemployment, she probably won't work at a fastfood resturant. She has a car payment coming up and no way to pay.

It comes down to what other people have said. People would rather be unemloyed and lazy then work at some low paying job.
