Jobs! but NOT in AmeriKa...in Canada. The positions being offered are long term, with many paying as much as 30 percent more than similar industry positions in the United States. Some positions will require a move to Canada, but many others will allow veterans to commute — working several weeks in Canada, then one week back home. “This is a fantastic opportunity and I’m proud of our affiliation with Vet-Jobs,” said VFW National Commander Richard DeNoyer. “Helping thousands of veterans to get well-paying jobs in an important industry just further proves that no one does more for veterans than the VFW.” To apply, go to www.vetjobs.com, click on Search Jobs, then type “opportunity awaits” into the company search field.

Would this increase the job numbers for Obama even though
the jobs would be in Canada?

Hi Katie,

One of the issues of working in the frozen north is housing. In the south after Katrina, a large temporary workforce could live in mobile and makeshift housing. Where the temps fall to forty below on a cold winter night you need better housing. This is why North Dakota is also still looking for workers — no places for them to live in towns like Minot.

The pay is higher, but wait til they see the tax deductions. I imagine most of the jobs are in Alberta, so at least there are no sales taxes (unless that has changed).

Thanks for posting!

Not to worry......

There are also lot of similar jobs begging in Texas and in North Dakota. There is no excuse for being unemployed in America. You can find a job in either of the oil producing areas of both of these states.

The VA office in our little town has been jam-packed for the past week.

The parking lot is full, the lawn is full and the cars are parked along the street 2 blocks away.

Go Vets!! It’s nice to know that a country appreciates your service and your skills....wonder how it makes you feel that the CIC of your own country does not....

Obama is such a turd. There is no conceivable way he can maneuver this situation to his advantage; at least, to people who haven’t been mainlining kool-aid.
