You wouldn't believe the responses I've gotten, and most of them would be driving 40 miles from San Antonio.
Even had a 27 year old guy with a good resume and a degree in agriculture.
It's really bad out there.
i'd like to read that ad. where is it running?
I don't want to be fucked with. This is what the ad said...Quote:

What, that unemployment may be as high as 25%? It was something like 17% some time back, when the normal published figure went past 8%. With the extra long time, more of a percentage may have stopped looking.Quote:

what bullshit.
If you think they won't you are a fool. Ask anyone working retail for the huge companies...Target, Petsmart, Home Depot, Macys, etc. None of them get 40 hours and benefits. That trend is rapidly moving into other businesses that were traditionally 40 hour jobs.Quote:

Fitting Jack wants a day to celebrate unemployment though, typical republican...they prey America fails so that those leeches can come in and get their private sector overlords a payday at taxpayer expense.
