Guess how applications I have gotten. $12 an hour. Lets say they keep 70%. That's less than $1400 net each month. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 9106140 So you get to live in a shitty apartment and stay home every night. Quit comparing the wage to some fantasy that you have about life. I'm not saying $12 is a bad wage, but its not great. Do you need skills? Are you sure no one applied or did the HR people tell you that? Sometimes HR will say that cause no one they want ou to hire applied or they're interviewing for another job. Just sayin' First off, $12. is the starting wage. With in a year it could go to $20. It is a starting position for a shovel operator. It amazes me that people bitch about no jobs, then turn their noses at a decent, respectable offering. I guess it's easier sucking the Govt. teat. Faken communists thats what. Faken obama lechers, they'd better of suck the pimp of GOV then work for 2x min wage... faken morons. In my country You would have half the population begging for this kinda payed job, and everything is 2x expensive here then in USA. I dunno how U americans manage to live, but 12$ and hour when a dinner in restaurant cost about 10$... comapre it to my country where 5/h is min wage, and dinner costs 30.... America is going to hell thanks to those communists trained by media and their puppet master president. |

GREED has made this world collapse and it will never stop now. HOW do these people actually go to work each and stare the other employees in the face? Say HI to the doorman and say HI to the single mom's working their asses off in those cubicles? The mail room people and most EVERYONE else THERE! HOW DO THEY DO IT? No going back now...this won't STAND...nope it will all fall DUE to these GREEDY BASTARDS! Just a matter of time now. No wonder no one wants your $12.00 an hour shovel job...it sucks is why. Don't be so polly anna...you know it sucks too. ![]() |

Guess how applications I have gotten. Finding good help for entry level positions is difficult. Everyone wants 20/hr or so to start. For a position not requiring a diploma, 20+ is after you are proven...not to start. So...they keep looking until they must take a job to eat. Adversity is inevitable, misery is optional.

Guess how applications I have gotten. JLB, let me ask you a question or several for that matter... 1. Can you...Feed, clothe, shelter yourself(1 person) on $12 an hour in today's economy? 2. How about 2 persons, say elderly around 60-64 yrs old 3. How about 3 persons(add wife and kid) can you do so without any Government assistance? then add transportation and all that goes with it(taxes, tag, insurance, fuel, tires and maintenance) Yes you can. You just won't be able to purchase iPods, iPhones, 100's of cable channels, fancy cars, etc. I did it for years as a single parent with zero child support making less than $12.00 per hour. |

AND this number is based on $12. for the entire year. NO, I'm asking you to "Crunch" the numbers and show us how it can be done..If you can...is that so hard? here I'll start your math lesson: we'll use your 50hr work week fig of $660 total with overtime. 660 x 52 weeks = 34,320 34,320 less federal tax filing single 4,724 = 29,596 29,596 less state(SC) tax of 1,935 = 27,661 27,661 less your "room" .....Here is where YOU, ALB pickup... anybody else can jump in if they want to. $27,661 > $0 you lazy fuck!
