Motivation is still a big factor. You still need some education or
skill. You still have to go out and find a job or do odd jobs to make
a few bucks. You can often relocate to where jobs are available.

Plenty of jobs are going begging because they cannot find qualified
people to fill them.

The newspapers still have help wanted ads, so does Craig's List.

I recently hired two people for a basic factory job with minimal
skills needed. It took about 50 applicants to find two that:
Could pass a drug test
Could comprehend simple instructions
Had enough motivation to come to work every day.

This job would not get you steak every night, but it would get you
three meals a day and other benefits.
There are few jobs for the bozo crowd.
