"The best social program is a good job," President Ronald Reagan once remarked. Those words ring especially true during times like today's, with high unemployment, modest hiring and government expenditures off the charts.
As much as the unemployment rate has been steadily declining for the better part of three years, it's still stuck near 8%, and tens of millions of Americans are either out of work, working less than they want, or worst of all, have simply given up looking. And yet, unbeknownst to many, the number of available jobs has been steadily rising, and now sits at a four-year high of nearly 3.2 million vacant positions.
