It's bad enough that so many people have been thrown out of work and are struggling to make ends meet. To compound the problem, many employers have taken to treating the unemployed as though they have leprosy. Some ads openly tell workers that if they are unemployed, they need not apply.

An organization called True Majority.org has launched a campaign to call upon Monster.com, Careerbuilder and others to refuse ads that discriminate against the unemployed. If you want to sign their petition, go to the following link:
