My 18 year old daughter has been looing for a job for two months with no luck. This girl is a National Merit Finalist, well mannered, attractive, and fluent in Spanish (we're in Texas). As soon as prospective employers learn she'll be leaving for college in August she's shown the door. Same thing is happening with her friends. Nobody here wants to train and hire for summer help -- they want permanent employees. She's applied at every restaurant in town, WalMart, grocery stores, retail, etc. The temporary agencies don't seem to have any listings that don't require some experience. Meanwhile she's picking up some spending money babysitting.

"looing" = looking
Fingers are faster than the eyes.

This is my situation. There are NO JOBS! I'm looking for something to supplement my job that is underemploying me. I just applied at an unemployment agency. This is humiliating in the extreme. Everything requires experience, people need a zillion year degree just to work in data entry. I'm a college student who couldn't even afford the books this semester needed for my classes. I've seen so many people in the unemployment agency and even middle age to elderly people.
