But if there were more than 266,000 jobs available and more than 266,000 people unemployed but the people chose to remain unemployed rather than take one of the available jobs then we have a problem.
Perhaps wages need to increase. Perhaps prices need to increase to support increased wages.
Perhaps the Federal Govt is trying to force a minimum wage by setting unemployment compensation levels to incentivize employees staying home until wages increase.

There were over 7 MILLION job openings as of the end of February (the last months # are available)...
So, no, all the available jobs were not filled, by a long shot...
