I’ve been able to find jobs for thousands of people and most of them were no Steven Hawking or Albert Einstein. If you really want work it’s out there.
“I’ve been able to find jobs for thousands of people and most of them were no Steven Hawking or Albert Einstein. If you really want work it’s out there.”
I was listening to a local radio station on the way home earlier this week and they were discussing the situation in Baltimore. The 2 hosts are leftists, but I would describe them more left of center than far left. While I totally disagree with their take on many US issues, I do get to hear some local news.
One of the hosts was talking about going down to New Orleans many times after Katrina to help build homes, etc. He said there was a lot of money pouring in to help re-build areas and the contractors were clamoring for help, paying fairly high wages and willing to train people (like an apprentice program).
He said he was working on one black woman’s home and painting the front and her grandson, who was about 15 and living with her, was out there. He asked the grandson if he wanted to help and could make some good money (Maybe said and learn a trade) and the grandson said no. Instead of earning money and helping restore his grandmother’s home that he lived in, he preferred to cross the street and sit and drink beer and play dominoes with his bros all day. And, it wasn’t just him - many of the other young black men did the same. So who did the contractors hire to help rebuild the city, learn a skill and earn a good wage - - you guessed it - illegal Mexicans and some of Asian descent (not sure if they were legal or illegal).
