Most of the comments here focus on how people aren&#x27;t trying hard enough to get jobs.  This article indicates that the jobs <i>don&#x27;t exist</i> and that the problem is likely to get far worse.  You can try as hard as you want to get a job - if no one is hiring, you aren&#x27;t going to get one.<p>The reality is that as time goes on, the world&#x27;s needs can and will be met by fewer and fewer people.  This should be a good thing, but it won&#x27;t work under most existing economic systems.  Our entire economy has to change to accomodate the new reality that a significant percentage of the population <i>will</i> be unemployed.
