That's not the government's job. It's the employer's job.
What about the unemployed? Should the employer be forced to hire them because they need food and housing?

I started out making beans and worked my ass off to get noticed and advanced. Everywhere I have ever worked I was known for giving more than I took. It always payed off.
Sure sometimes the brownnoser get the promotion but most businesses want people that get things done.
