Do away with the oppressive and antiquated system that exists currently in favor of a system where you bring your resume to a trained counselor who will take your current strengths, skills and experience and try to match you with existing openings. If there aren't any matches or none of the openings appeal to you, you will be paid to attend classes to learn new skills that are in demand and that you are actually interested in.

Make it illegal for an employer to give a bad reference for an employee without having actual proof to back up their claims. Employers who give a bad reference and can't back up their claims must pay the costs to retrain the employee.
