Employers can't find workers

Some Employers Have Jobs, but No One Wants Them

Some small business owners say they're hiring but they can't find employees, despite millions being unemployed.

Some of this sounds believable, in some cases employers are offering crappy wages though, IMO. Interesting comments from the businesses though. People don't even show up for interviews? WTF

You get what you pay for Joe


And the only people that can afford to work for minimum wage are in high school right now.

Who can't afford to work for minimum wage if they are out of work and haven't been able to find work? You mean not making anything is better than making something? Your logic is faulty.

What employers can't find is workers who can do the work of the workers they laid-off, but willing to do it for 1/3 of what they were paying before...(and who are younger, so they don't have to pay for health care...)

Yep...Sorry... They'll have to wait for the high-schoolers to graduate in order to tap their desired labor-pool.

(Is this where I'm supposed to turn on the "crocodile-tear machine" and feel sympathy for those poor job-creators who laid-off thousands in hopes of replacing them with cheaper labor?....) :Snooze

I'm going to take a moderate position here and agree that in many cases employers are being cheap a$$es and taking advantage. Over this past year I have told recruiters "no thanks" the wage offered is way too low, not interested. I have also seen ads for jobs listing extensive experience and skills reqd, and then say 3 years of experience and low salary. 3 years of experience and most people are still green IMO

Hopefully this will all adjust over time when the economy recovers.

Vote for Obama in November and give him four more years. He'll turn it around and you'll have a job. I promise.

Getting testy now... aren't we? I make more money as a programmer working from my secret mountain lair then most people make per hour. You sound jealous? What's the matter? Bagging at Safeway wasn't the career move you thought it would be? Getting angry at some bits and bytes over the internet is a sign of weakness. I feel sorry for you. And don't yell at me about jobs... talk to your favorite white black president Obama.

You crack me up! What a stereotype, every unemployed troll claims to be a "programmer" working from home.
You are a joke.
