Recognising the dead is becoming harder and harder for reasons beyond our current knowledge. To make a long story short - they just don't look dead any more, at least not the more recently deceased. There's a lack of ghostly pallor, feathered wisps of ethereal energy floating to and from them - not so much as a single inhuman or otherworldy thing about the vast majority of them.
Recent cases of employers hiring the recently deceased are on the rise which is difficult for all involved. It makes one wonder if it counts as discrimination to fire somebody for being dead, a state which they can't change? The answer isn't very forthcoming and brings to the table countless new ethical questions on the consciousness of the dead and what their presence means for those among the living who believe in an afterlife.
The dead always manage to shift the all attempts to ask about their current state of being and sudden desire to have a job with such skill that it often takes one a moment to remember the original point or question. The dead simply don't want us to know anything about being dead, they just want to keep living as though they were still among us, or so it would seem.
The only sure fire ways to tell if someone is a member of the recently deceased community nowadays is to either shine a light directly at them as it passes through them,diffusing their realistic form to their baser, hazy appearance. Of course this is considered incredibly rude to do and often triggers poltergeist behaviour, resulting so far in thirty eight cases of injury and five deaths.
It's not like anything can be done for the time being - we can hardly arrest a semi-incorporeal spirit!
