NOT NOW.... They held their annual Beach Job Fair yesterday - within the first 2 hours, all applications were GONE... Students were having to compete with unemployed of all levels for those jobs... Gone was the dickering over starting dates - Students always tried to arrange it to fit their school schedules... Now they are seeing people saying ‘I can start TODAY if you need me...’ Quite a change...<<<<
That is good news!!!
It is time the kids find out that the party is over and real life is going to hit them in the face.
I read in the Las Vegas news that 1 in 10 workers in Las Vegas is unemployed.
Sounds about right, as several months ago, Laughlin laid off a bunch of the casino workers and cut the hours to about 36 per week for the ones they kept.
Interesting, real American youths, actually working.
I saw an ad in a drug store window, got off the school bus and went in and applied for it.
Best training that I ever had, in 60 years, I always found a job as a waitress, LOL, not always a choice place, but I got a job.

This past Friday on my way home from work I passed a spot where “homeless people” usually older gents, hold up their panhandling signs and there were two twenety somethings with their hand out. Both the young man and his girl were obviously able bodied yet would rather stand on the corner than do some honest work. I hope they are in for a very RUDE awakening.
