Re:Low unemployment isn’t worth much if the jobs barely pay

I must disagree, anecdotally.
I walked off one job, and went traveling for six months. Another job I was on the losing end of a political maneuver, and used my severance to take another six month sabbatical.
Each time I returned to the market I received 20%+ compensation over what I had before. The second time I was promoted into management with hiring authority.
Let me know who you turn away for gaps in their resume. Maybe I'll hire them. :-)

I too have found I get a significant salary bump with each job departure. But I have usually had either economic factors or 'sabatical' as a reasonable explanation.
