I work at one of the best factory jobs in our county.
In 1998 when I went through th e hiring process, they started with 50
applications, sent 20+ for a standardized industrial test, and then
interviewed 15. 8 or 9 got hired. Every single one hired got in due
to lobbying by an internal advocate.
We need 2 new hires now.
The boss called the state employment agency to send over resumes,
They had 3.
He contacted them, and got return calls from 2.
The local paper mill is closing by the end of this month, 293 people.
30 miles from our door, some drive past us to get there.
And yet none of them want a job?
Of course not.
$800/week for up to 2 years to sit at home.
