What do you think of someone who's jobless but is not actively looking for one? Remember that he's not a millionaire or something like that.

In general terms I would consider that person a conformist or slacker. Even in the case he doesn't have a family or other people to support and have people that "take care" of him it is important to have a sense of accomplishment, to try to improve yourself, to interact with people and learn from your work experience. Even if the pay is not what you expect and you might need to start at a lower level, at least it is just that, a start.

Let me try this again. If he has the means to pay his rent/mortgage and feed him self and be fine then let him run out his money they way he wants. Now if he can't pay his rent/mortgage and is mooching off others and if he has a family to feed then he needs to get off his @ss and get a job, also beggers can't be choosers.

Since there are potentially other issues we don't know about, I would reserve judgement. I took several months off without looking for work due to health issues. I've known some people who have taken time off just to decompress. One friend took a one year sabatical (he was promised his job back when he returned though). If the person is just leeching off of other people, then I would think they might just be lazy.

If he's living and not collecting tax dollars to get him through, then whatever. Or, is this one of those trick questions where the subject in question is a college student or retired? If not, tell him that McDonalds is hiring down the street!! How do I know that? Well, EVERY McDonalds down EVERY street is always hiring.

Oh!! You know my ex-husband!! The operative term here being "ex." That kind of says it all.

I think someone is enabling him to not get motivated. Think some tough love is called for and for all the right reasons. Being responsible is the number one trait in becoming an adult.

That called being lazy! Or maybe this person is a freeloader.

Honestly? I'd probably think he was a bit lazy, especially if he was living off of someone else. But since I dont know the guy, I cant judge too much. For example: If he's depressed, he wont be too motivated to actually look for a job or if people arent hiring because they believe there is a recession so he doesnt feel like trying.

Unless they are not fit for working, I wold think you would treat looking for a job as your job. That is what my husband used to do. He would wake up and we'd start visiting places, writing, calling, asking people for connections, something. We might take a day off occasionally but basically that was his job.

Well, me being currently unemployed and finding it VERY difficult to find gainful employ, cannot really comment on it. To each his own. I do know that I am not happy when I am not working. And am really looking forward to getting ANY answer to the many applications I have filled out lately.

well, is he homeless? Starving? If not I guess he's doing ok, its not my place to judge.
