Job counselors are not going to get millions of people jobs. There are too many who are unemployed. And as Trek said, there are homeless that are employed, especially in high cost of living areas.

My sister recently had her ex-husband move in with her. He was a computer programmer, laid of more than 2 years ago. He has worked hard to find work, even grunt work. Not even the Census hired him. Finally, his unemployment and savings ran out. My sister cares about him as a friend. So they live together again. I can't imagine trying to find work in your 50s after a couple of years without a job. And he does volunteer work. He does a few free lance jobs here and there. But not enough to live on in California.

Warning, political rant: Our country is doing next to nothing to get people working. Instead, we are obsessed with the deficit and saying "no spending, end of story." Spend money on jobs and maybe we will have more taxpayers to help with that deficit.
