Just today a manager of a banquet facility mentioned their place of business, I jumped on the “possibility” of being on call when they are short handed. Do I want to do that...no...do I want to make money..yes. It really is that simple when you are in an area where work is difficult to come by. It means adding those few dollars to the whole and for that “surviving” the downturn in ones life...hopefully temporarily.
Good for you; I applaud your old fashioned ways!
I’m old enough to have lived through several recessions. I also remember how people used to be, which means that they would take any job and/or move to where jobs were, to get one. Today,sadly, that seems to be just “old fashioned”/silly for far too many people, people who would rather take and take and take from the government/those of us who pay taxes.
Working is far more “noble”, or whatever you want to call it, than taking money from others, so one can sit around doing nothing, until a job up to snuff comes along. The government shouldn’t be extending UI benefits to these slackers!
Is getting a job difficult, in today’s economy? For some, yes it is; especially with Obama’s shut down of gulf oil producers.
OTOH, there ARE jobs out there, many going unfilled because of lack of good candidates.
