How is that going to help anything?

I was just reading an article on the cnnmoney.com website that a lot of companies are refusing to hire people who are unemployed! (Click here to read the article.) I have to say that this kind of news is very alarming! People are still being laid off because companies are downsizing, not because the employee did anything wrong! If this is true, then I would strongly encourage people to take on a 2nd job, so if anything happens to their “real job” and they have to look for a new job, they don’t have to say on their application that they are unemployed! What a mess!
