Obama's new CEA chairman Alan Krueger is one of the top labor economists in the country. He included a lot of innovative programs in the back end of Obama's ill-fated American Jobs Act worth looking at. The first one, "Bridge to Work" is a temporary subsidized employment scheme akin to what Ralph's taking about (as Morgan Warstler has suggested, the employers really should have to bid on the subsidized labor).

The BSE (buffer stock of employed) could be the buffer that the government provides for all willing and able to work at the p/hr unskilled floor compensation package. The private sector bids labor out of that pool but offering a higher compensation package. The employers desiring to hire the unskilled bid against each other for it.

It could yes, but Ralph's idea (which the Bridge to Work program is in line with) is to create temporary jobs in the private sector.
