Yeah, I thought as much. It’s all part of the plan.
Short term solution: pay more.
Long term solution: eugenics.
“A couple of years ago I became unemployed. Could have gone to work immediately but I wanted something out of the automobile business. Looked for 3 mo’s. Couldn’t even get an interview.”
Companies, especially smaller companies, don’t want to hire anyone over 40. As people get older the odds they will have a serious medical issue goes way up.
Many companies ‘self insure’ and one case of cancer can wipe them out.
What do you think the labor participation rates would be if there was no such thing as food stamps, Medicaid, and SSI disability?
How will killing all the Jews help?
And if you try to engage them on an intellectual level, they'll just call you a hater and an evil troglodyte.
Bob Slydell: You see, what we’re actually trying to do here is, we’re trying to get a feel for how people spend their day at work... so, if you would, would you walk us through a typical day, for you?
Peter Gibbons: Yeah.
Bob Slydell: Great.
Peter Gibbons: Well, I generally come in at least fifteen minutes late, ah, I use the side door - that way Lumbergh can’t see me, heh heh - and, uh, after that I just sorta space out for about an hour.
Bob Porter: Da-uh? Space out?
Peter Gibbons: Yeah, I just stare at my desk; but it looks like I’m working. I do that for probably another hour after lunch, too. I’d say in a given week I probably only do about fifteen minutes of real, actual, work.
Respectfully disagree.
America has the people we need. Maybe some jobs need to pay more, but we’ve got more than the people we need.
We are supporting a huge amount of people on welfare and other support programs, rather then simply letting the workforce actually function.
Hire Americans.
America needs more jobs. More.
Germany has a good system of apprenticing as a means of developing skilled workers. It’s highly structured and it requires commitment from both apprentice and the prospective employer. The result is a well-trained and knowledgable workforce that earns a good wage and, perhaps more importantly, is quite respected.
"Up or Out", isn't just for the military anymore.
Note the drug test information. They aren’t kidding. What they didn’t tell you is that the dug test not includes a pee test, it also includes a hair test. They take a snip of of hair.
Sorry to see that Mr. Moore’s solution is more government.
All he’s helping to do is empower the cradle-to-grave statist socialists who have mostly gotten us here in the first place.
There is only a legitimate shortage in the energy sector because of the explosive growth. The rest is BS. There is not an education problem. If you look at wanted adds for manufacturing you’re seeing unreasonable expectations for minimal pay. Either companies need to keep the low pay and train, or raise their pay to poach experienced workers.
On a banana... in practice, however, they know where to go get Plan B Onestep.
lol..great answer.
Way to many people want to blame the American worker.
Truth is we have a surplus of labor and they want to keep bringing in more.
It’s simple the law of Supply and Demand at work.
I once had a conversation with someone who expects Americans to get used to making 2/Hr and live in a dorm when not working. Of course, He expected to be living at the Plantation manor.
Sorry about your misfortunes, I wish you the best of luck. I do understand your situation.
