Election Year Showboating

Of course Congress will never vote to make the "unemployed" a protected class and be able to sue employers given the attitude of the GOP and neolibs.

Unlike race and especially age, it would be MUCH easier to prove employers are discriminating against the unemployed.  Just get the records and compare those hired having already been employed when hired with those not hired and not having been employed.

The main reason employers screen out the unemployed is to cut the applicant pool to a manageable number.  Otherwise, it makes no fucking sense.

Obama is just in campaign mode by throwing a bone to Democrats; he knows it hasn't a chance of passing Congress.
