The unemployment rate where I live is 40%. I’ve been told that by local business owners. The following is a good example of how the Democrat controlled government agencies are facilitating the unemployment rate lie of around 8%.
My 22-year old nephew is unemployed so he went to a hiring fair held by Weyerhaeuser at the local county expo center. What he discovered was a huge throng of people.
One of the Weyerhaeuser HR people told him that the crowd was five times what they expected. My nephew was told to come back the next day.
Will he have a chance? I don’t know, but there were hundreds of people there, and the mills are decent employers providing job security.
I’ve wondered at the necessity of job fairs in times of high unemployment. Spending money to find employees when employees are not hard to find doesn’t make sense. Doing so in times of low unemployment or in regions with low unemployment makes sense.
the one thing people fail to realize is, there are lots of people looking for work. looking for leaders that have an idea, a vision, that will result in a sustainable livelihood
what people need are leaders
unfortunately, the left has been doing everything they can to snuff out the spark of leadership from America’s children for decades. the goal is to make everyone dependent on fedgov... which gains power as those same people vote for their subsistence
want leaders? make the effort worth while. when 2/3s to 3/4s of your week goes to fedgov, it undermines the drive and motivation. reduce taxes from the 61-75% load it is now to a more reasonable flat 20% and you’ll see people stepping up.
of course, fedgov will NEVER let that happen... as that tax load is the source of their power. reducing taxation would reduce their power. and they’ll do everything they can to hold onto it
My son was out of work for 4 years, he finally took a job as a corrections officer in the local prison. The prison is known as the toughest one in the state, and his block is the toughest in the prison.It is where they keep the gang members. Last week two officers were hospitalized, one with a sliced face, the other with an injured arm from an inmate hitting her.
He has a job though, one thing about it, even in this obammunism, prisons are recession proof.
