Placing this responsibility on the shoulders of private employers surely is too burdensome in both an economic and ethical sense. Without significant limitations, such a right claimed against private employers would result in eco¬nomic chaos. Would private employers be obligated to hire just anyone who applied for work? Would qualifications be relevant? Would this right depend on an employer's profit status? Providing any and all people with jobs is simply not something that a private employer can do and remain economically viable. An unprofitable business cannot continue to provide jobs to any employees. Further, the rights of employers also provide counterarguments to this view. Such considerations as employers' property rights (which, admittedly, are not absolute), freedom, and their own right to work would clearly limit signifi-cantly any responsibilities that an employer could be said to have for providing jobs to others.
