> If one person has been working with machine tools 40 hours a week while the other hasn't used machine tools for six months, hiring the first is the rational thing to do

yes, but the point is that companies would even prefer hiring people that have been doing work in a different industry recently than someone who is 6 months unemployed but with experience in the same industry.

I think it simply comes down to employers automatically assuming that you have some sort of major flaw if you've been unemployed for so long.
