I have my experience. I got laid off a couple of months ago. A few friends went at the same time. I get tons of interviews. I've even gotten offers that were later rescinded due to lack of work. My friends all say the same thing. It's a wild market! I might go learn to weld.
ReplyDeleteRetired but still work, sort of, part time. Need to buy bullets and stuff.
ReplyDeleteIf you are a carpenter, electrician, plumber, roofing, HVAC, mechanic, welder, automechanic or several other craftsman you will seldom find yourself unemployed

not only are we being screwed: we're paying (unbelievable, inflationary taxes) to be screwed
ReplyDeleteHappens all over not just in the USA
ReplyDeleteHuge surge in migrant jobs while huge drop in native population employment. Let’s not forget none of those “newcomers” had to get vaccinated for entry into the country but Americans had to be vaccinated to keep their jobs. Still don’t believe in the “great replacement”? The commies are just playing the long game and like the monkey said when train ran over his tail “it won’t be long now”.

My grandson has a small grass cutting business, small yards with weedeating are $50 + depending on the yard.... He cuts 5 to 6 a day on average 4 times a week, not bad for a 16 year old...

My, how times have changed. I was 17 years old in 1976 cutting yards for 3 bucks a pop.
DeleteI think I was getting $ 5 back in HS but gas was what .40 cents a gallon back then, lawnmowers were maybe $50 and weedeating wasn't a thing I had heard of.
DeleteTimes have definitely changed
