...it's hard to take WC serious when he post like that....
Damn.
I ran an ad last week for an experienced ranch hand 32 hour week @ $8 an hour...had to have experience with tractors, implements, etc. plus a lot of manual labor. I was explicit.
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 ed with. This is what the ad said...
Wanted...reliable person for general farm and ranch maintenance (32 hours/week). Tractor/farm experience required. Duties may include operating tractor and other equipment (shredding, tilling, discing, etc) general equipment maintenance, general carpentry work, plumbing, mowing, weed-eating, trimming trees, cutting wood, cleanup, etc. Bilingual (english/spanish) preferred, but must be able to speak english. Please respond and describe yourself and your work experience. Thanks
where did you run the ad?
Craigslist. Please don't with me/it.
you gave up the location of your super secret, doomsday, only hardcore awesome patriots compound?
Oh off pissant. And no I didn't.
My post was about how awful the job market was out there.
Quit trying to turn this into something else.
Barack Obama disagrees with you.
If the stimulus was a success, there wouldn't be the push for more stimulus....had it not been for the success of the stimulus we would be at 20+ unemployment thanks to the Bush/GOP recession....
You fail on both counts.
Did you not mention you are only paying $8 per hour in the ad?
Thats what I offered to see what was out there. I got swamped with applicants.
So?
i can't believe you gave up your uber compound secrets for cheap labor.
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.
If you count unemployed and underemployed I'd definitely buy 25-30%. Full time 40 hour jobs without a college degree and/or skill are almost non-existent. The federal/state mandates for full time employees are just too onerous and growing every year. The new health bill will kill even more full time jobs.
Day late but HAPPY UMEPLOYMENT DAY!
"The federal/state mandates for full time employees are just too onerous and growing every year. The new health bill will kill even more full time jobs."
what bull .
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.
I'm employed.
Prove it.
Of course that would indicate your continued interest in my personal life.
What are you so interested in my personal life?
You already proved it
How?
Continue showing your interest in my personal life by giving a link to my proving I am unemployed.
Right. I'm sure higher healthcare costs for employers won't have any effect whatsoever on jobs.
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.
