Government should enforce career caps nationwide, i.e. a max number of students allowed on positions where labor is abundant.

They (government) also could spend the unemployment benefit towards training people instead of just giving them the money.

I'm not sure I agree with caps. I do however agree with not providing any federal financial aid in such circumstances. I'm also in favor of the government funding industry-led studies to forecast demand for labor in those industries. The government shouldn't performing such forecasting, but they can provide minimal financial support to make sure every industry forecasts its labor needs.
