The Economy of Hiring

This blog is for my dear friend Amy. Today she got the excuse from a perspective employer, that they wouldn’t hire her because of the economy. Does that really make sense though? I guess it does if you are in the hear and now form of thought. What if they would have thought that way during the Great Depression?

Some people did think that way back then, during the hard times. I’m not sure how they got through and I know they weren’t prosperous, because we never hear their stories. What if Rockefeller would have said, I’m not going to make investments because the economy is bad? What if the farmers didn’t want to put forth the money to take their crops elsewhere to sell? They would have then let their crops spoil and would have had no money, instead of having less profit.

What if every employer said, “Lets not hire them because, no body is buying anything.”? Then wondering why people aren’t buying anything. Wake up people! If you don’t give people jobs, so that they have money to spend, then guess what! They can’t spend it!

No wonder our economy is bad, no body has jobs and therefore they don’t have any money. Or at least not any real money. Can this change, sure it can. Big profit businesses can invest in new employees. Smaller profit businesses can at least hire some people on part-time. But creating a hiring freeze so that no one can get a job, definitely is not the answer.

I’m sure everyone just sat on their tuffs during the great depression and watched all the devastation. No, they kept on working, they new it would turn around. They didn’t even ask the government for specific help. People made a way and they didn’t layoff people like they were nothing.

Moral of the story: People need to be hiring right now. That way there is new money to put into our economy instead of more and more draining out. No matter how we got here, what needs to be done right now is, making every effort to get ourselves our of this situation.
