Hard Core Unemployment (1 Viewer)

Would you consider someone with a criminal record as a hard core unemployed person

 

[cs01001]

Yea. Hard core unemployment refers to those that are out of work for a long time due to personal circumstances, in that case, criminal record is one of them.

 

[BackCountrySnow]

Yeah, that's an example of hardcore unemployment.

50% of BoS members are under the hardcore employment list. Get off your arse people!

in theory, no. Because a lot of us are not 'actively seeking work'.
We're that section of the working age population who are not part of the workforce.

lol 'hardcore unemployment' is a legitamate term?

I think topic 3 is the best overall!

 

[BackCountrySnow]

[lolcal]

[veloc1ty]

Uhh, you guys sort of ignored the right answer to the OP:

No.

Just because someone has a criminal record does not mean they are difficult to employ.

 

[BackCountrySnow]

Just because someone has a criminal record does not mean they are difficult to employ.

Because if someone has a bad enough crim record employers will not want to employ him.

 

[veloc1ty]

Thanks for telling me! So, where does the question specify that the criminal record is bad?

It doesn't.

 

[BackCountrySnow]

well I think the OP is implying that a persson can not find work because of his criminal record.

If this is the case then yes, that is an example of hardcore unemployment.
