A job hunting rant…

I have a question for any recruiters, managers, etc. that may happen upon this blog. How many jobs are reasonable for someone to have who has been working in the last 10 years? As I am sure you are aware the job climate in the last decade has not really been one to foster or reward loyalty. Please give me some feedback on this issue, because I am completely confused. I thought that when you got laid off from a job you were supposed to accept the next suitable thing that comes along. That's what the Department of Labor believes. In fact if you don't take whatever comes along next you lose your benefits(if you get them). If any recruiters happen to read this, please feel free to post your thoughts in the comments section. I just need some clarity on this issue.
