$24 an hour with a good benefit package. It's located in Central Kentucky and they can't find people. With mandatory overtime, after taxes, you can bring home about $1000 a week.

Go get it, millennial.

Right on Bristoe and this isn't anything new.
I couldn't find anybody who would come to work Mon. - Fri. , 40 hour work week back in the mid-late 90's. Every trade contractor said the same thing back then, young people don't want to work - no matter how much it pays. Myself I dreamed of finding a summer job between school years [70's], not once did any youts want a job way back then [90's]..
I mentioned the other day a friend/contractor near biloxi , he turned the company over to his two sons, they ran it into the ground in a year. They thought it wasn't fair to have to bid on a job - they should be able to tell a homeowner it's this much $$ and they should have to pay that much.

Any age person who has been pampered throughout their childhood is VERY likely going to be worthless.

The people wringing their hands over Trump's rhetoric don't know what time it is in America.
