Unemployment

Too many articles are currently talking about the talent shortage, but the sad thing is many of these companies that say they have difficulty finding good candidates are discriminating against the unemployed, sometimes those with as little as one month of unemployment. I highly encourage organizations to take a hard look at their system if they are taking the unemployed out of consideration, regardless of whether it is one month or one year of unemployment. These are often highly skilled workers who would be valuable, diligent and loyal employees, if someone would give them a chance.
