Water, water everywhere — and not a drop to drink. The U.S. labor pool has nearly 14 million unemployed workers, yet more small businesses complain about the dearth of qualified workers.

In a new survey by The Hartford Financial Services Group, 40% of small businesses (defined as companies at least one year old, with fewer than 100 employees and revenues $100,000 or more) say it is "not easy at all" to find good help. Only 14% say hiring good workers is "very" or "extremely" easy.
