Sony Ericsson, a global phone manufacturer that recently announced that it would be bringing 180 new jobs to the Buckhead, Ga. area, also recently posted an ad for a __marketing__ position on The People Place.

A Craigslist ad for __assistant restaurant managers__ in Edgewater,

These don't sound like highly technical fields to me.

It's probably just a tactic to reduce resume spam. After being unemployed for awhile, people tend to apply to everything to increase their chances of success.

Agreed, but it sounds lazy.

How hard is it to check the work chronology and just bong any resume that doesn't look like it would be anywhere near a good fit? It's not like H/R people are overworked filling hundreds of positions in their companies at the moment.

If you had to ask, you really aren't qualified to make the blanket statement "for a lot of these fields the unemployment rate...is still fairly low".

Yes, HuffPo is leftist, but I don't see how rage over this particular issue has jack-all to do with where you lie on the partisan spectrum. I'd expect even many full-bore libertarians to find that policy stupid, discriminatory or both (though they would more fully support an employer's right to be as stupid and discriminatory as they wish).
