    These restaurants probably looking for good looking youth with table waiting experience! Any job that a person can make a living working, there is very likely to big competition for it. The only jobs that can't get workers are commission-only sales jobs or jobs that one cannot even make a...

    Many workers already work over time w/o over time pay. Unless there is a law against not paying over-time to non-exec workers making under 100k ( or any chosen salary), such a plan will not work. If a person is required to work the extra hours, then the employers (not the worker) should be...

    First there was the massive importation of H1B workers and those on business visa. As if that is not enough, now these H1B folks are helping to outsource jobs to their home countries. The American Century is over! The 21st century belongs to nations with low-wage labor.

    I won't be surprised to see many of these jobs are commission-only sales jobs disguised as "management trainee" or "admissions counselor". I saw Farmers Insurance in job fairs. They were not hiring anyone. They were looking for people buy their franchises. There other outfits similar to...

    Yes, I expect him to take the job too - if the job is available and helps him provide for his family at least some simple food and basic housing. These jobs are not as easy to come by as those who are not looking for work thinks. Many low-wage jobs specifically look for kids or retirees...

    her summer job may just paid minimum wage. After paying for living expense, there is nothing left. Please don't be so judgmental just because you were lucky to have the contacts to get a well-paid job.

    The 99ers...long term unemployed

    Being a 99er is hard - unless the guy really want to have the free time to do other stuff. It is much harder for the 1099er - freelance workers with no benefits. I can tell you there is no such job as digging ditches - machines had took away these jobs.

    US Employment Welfare eventual set-up for austerity measures?

    I worked as a contractor at similar places several times. Decent money, very little real work done, lots of politics and paper work to keep busy. Welfare benefits cost less!

    The 99ers...long term unemployed

    Where are the ditch-digging jobs that would allow the worker to live in a simple home? Be real, the equivalent of digging ditches in the modern world is telemarketing or other similar commission-only sales. You don't even get minimum wage for your aggravation.
