With unemployment being what it is in this country -- high, improving only gradually and with many more job seekers than available jobs, you'd think that employers would have the pick of the litter. It ain't necessarily so. Or so it seems. Business owners with whom I meet or work who have jobs to fill are decrying the lack of qualified applicants for those positions. The constant refrain that I hear is, "No one wants to work anymore," or some variation on that theme. There is certainly some be truth to that, but as the saying goes: "If you say you can't, then you won't."
