And everyone thought registries were only for sex offenders. If it works to punish them then why not on those who don't want to work?

WTF?

Once I missed a job interview for Dollar General, because Google, in their infinite wisdom, automatically filed their email to me in the spam folder..

Thankfully I'm not in Ohio, but how long before other states start doing this shit?

    If implemented, there should be some reasonable limits indeed. But many are regulars sending CVs to hundreds of random companies (or using some automated programs to accomplish this), and then don’t even bother to inform that they have no plans for coming

    And the reason people automate those sort of applications is largely because of the vast number of ghost job listings, where people say that out of 100 online applications, there might only be 3 or so that are actual listings and not fake, and they're lucky to even get one interview.

    If anything, they should totally outlaw fake ghost job listings, not try targeting the victim applicants stuck wasting their time applying for more than likely fake listings.
