Is There A Job Out There?

Some people are asking themselves, is there as job out there for me?  If someone has been without work for two years or more, how can they remain hopeful of finding work?  It seems normal to lose hope over an extended period of joblessness.   At no other point in our lifetimes, has it ever taken so many people so long time to get a job.  This is true if you are unemployed.  Someone working may have taken a long time to find work, but they may not have had as much time to devote to their job search.  For a jobless person, looking for work is their full time work. 
The problem, as I see it, is that Americans have been sold a bill of goods about work.  We were told early on that the key to our success is finding a good job.  That was fine and dandy as long as jobs were available.   But how does this belief apply when fourteen million people are out of work?
Many people need to rethink their ideas about work.  No one should be in a position of looking for work for two years or more. 
Some people: 

• return to school
• relocate    
• think of self-employment ideas.

Each person has to decide the best plan of action for themselves.  In order for our personal and collective health to improve, we all must think outside of the box.
Is there a job out there for you, your friends, or family?

Update for the soon to be released March 2013 unemployment report:

In light of the March unemployent stats, many people are getting worried about not finding work.
I have ideas of what should we should be doing differently to tackle the problem of those who have lost hope.  Although we live in a capitalistic society, we need to have flexibility when it comes to the unemployed.  If you teach a person how to fish they will be able to always have food.  People do not want handouts, they want to be productive, proud income earners.  That should be the goal that we have for all who wish to participate in the American dream.  Some attention needs to be given to solve the job crisis so that more people can take care of themselves as well as helping the economy.
