A surprisingly large number of unemployed persons (25-37 percent) are choosing to remain out of work because they can not find the type of job that suits their skills and interests. The author examines the structural features of American society that encourage voluntary unemployment and offers some tentative proposals to solve the problem. (Author/RK)
