Job Lottery

In a move to allow more opportunities to workers who may be overqualified a chance at employment, ???? State officials have created a job lottery. Based on the popular regular State lottery idea, companies can submit job vacancies to the state run job lottery. Job seekers register to the lottery site, mail, or state gov. offices. The seekers are then screened and placed under categories based on skills, and any bias for over qualification is taken out. A panel interview is conducted by the agency and a standard ranking is given to a candidate, to qualify for the myriad of possible positions. Every night along with the regular lottery, an employment lottery takes place and winners have 24hrs to call the employment Lottery hot-line. State officials and businesses alike have deemed this program a success after 6mo of trials and an additional 6mo since the program went state wide. Ms. Paxil of the Lottery board states "We are able to match jobs to job seekers in record times and fill positions faster than was possible before." She goes on to say about the employment numbers,"We are seeing dramatic decrease of unemployment rates and state consumer spending is on the rise showing we are in the right direction for moving out of a recession." Some of the requirements of the job seekers is that they must be willing to agree to a term of minimal employment with a range of 1 to 3 years. "We want to ensure we hire people and they stick around even after potentially better jobs become available." says Mr. Chesshir a regional manager for a retailer business. So far the public opinion has be highly favorable towards the lottery and state officials are looking into making this a more permanent part of operations even after the recession is in the past. So if your looking for a job, any job apply and you could be working sooner than later. "It beats interviewing at every place under the sun only to be turned down because of a coin toss. You interview once and then bid your time on unemployment or welfare hoping your number gets called so you can go to work." Says Selina of ?????. "I've been unemployed now for nearly a year since they closed the plant and my only hope was they would call us back, which was not likely. I couldn't even afford to play the real lottery. But its free to play the labor lottery and if you win you feel good to start accomplishing something again." says Mike a recent winner for a stock position a local grocery. "As people start working again people start spending again, and this spending sends signals to business to hire, and thus Economies thrive." Prof. Aukbaur of ????? College. He continues "Will this concept work? So far it seems to be, its jump starting the economy and doing faster than normal job hiring processes have in the past."
