Ugly Unemployment Numbers

Unemployment is 9.8% and the government is debating extending unemployment benefits. Some say that it will allow people to depend on the system rather than actively seek work. Others say that in general, people will not accept work that is at a lower level than that which they are accustomed. I tend to think that many companies are not hiring the unemployed. Maybe it's a combination of other factors. What do you think?
