For someone just starting out in the workforce with no formal education and minimal skills $9.50 an hour + benefits is too little?

Did I also mention our cost of living here is like 20% less then the national average

If no one is showing up to fill the position, what does that tell you?

Well our unemployment rate is like 3.5% so I am guessing because there is no one to fill it. As it is, about 1/3 of our jobs are filled from out of town college students. I would probably say taking out college kids who are looking for part time work, our real unemployment rate is probably about 2-3%. I don’t think we could get any closer to full employment then we are now.
