Steve Rattner: We Have 11 Million Open Jobs in This Country, More than Ever Before

EXCERPT:

RATTNER: "We have more jobs."
SCARBOROUGH: "And people aren’t filling them. I know people will be on Twitter going, oh, you this, you that, ya-da. Maybe they don’t want to work. OK, great. I know a lot of people throughout time that haven’t wanted to work, but they’ve had to to work. So, I’m just curious, perhaps this is, finally, the dawning of the age of aquarius, and we don’t have to work if we don’t want to."
RATTNER: "Well, it is couple pieces. First of all, we have 11 million open jobs in this country, more than we've ever had before."
SCARBOROUGH: "Right."
RATTNER: "So, if you don’t feel like driving a truck, if you don't like to be on the road, if you don’t want to be away from your family, if you don’t like the $23.5, whatever you don’t like --"
SCARBOROUGH: "So, you can pick something else."
RATTNER: "-- there are 11 million other jobs that you can pick from."
