Saw on the news this AM that there were 1,400 applicants for ONE electric meter-reader job in Tacoma. I do still see "Taking Apps" signs on convenience stores, fast food, etc.
One thing usually not taken into account is the level of unemployment compensation (or "rockin' chair", as my dad used to call it) that many are getting. My secretary's husband lost his job, is getting $515 a week, which translates to $12.90 an hour. I asked if he'd found any temp work- She said, "Yeah- and that was a big mistake."
