"If someone doesn't get a job within, oh, maybe, 36 weeks, he isn't trying."

Nonsense. I know plenty of people who spent longer than that trying to find work. The problem is, when unemployment is high, employers get very picky. That includes the concept of "overqualified". So, if you have a degree and job skills, you won't get that burger flipper job no matter how much you want it.

Try reality for once, could you?
