Because you can't find a decent job anywhere.

Then you're not looking. I just hired a 21 year old woman with
absolutely
no experience in the dental field at $12/hr. plus health insurance and
pension plan. She's interested in training to become a dental
assistant,
but needs the money, so will do it as OTJ training rather than
attending
the
one-year formal program. $30,000/year is a helluva lot of money for
someone
with no skills. Expanded function certified dental assistants earn
$18-20/hr (or more). There are at least 5-10 ads running in the local
paper
at any given time looking for assistants and/or hygienists.
Hygienists,
by
the way, earn $35-40/hour.

Every business owner I know has trouble finding employees. It doesn't
matter what field of employment they're looking to fill. I just went
to
get
my haircut the other day and the wait was 2 hours because there was
only
1
lady working. All she did was bitch the entire time that nobody wants
to
work.

The jobs are there.

Except in Michigan...(7% unemployment)..with our worthless democrat
govenor
who thinks she can tax her way to prosperity.







I visited with a potential customer this week....a manufacturer of large
injection molding machines, extruders, die cast machines and hydraulic
presses and are only on of 3 major US manufacturer of injection molding
and
hydraulic presses. They are expanding and hiring new employees (skilled
machinist) as they cannot keep up with demand for their equipment. It
seems
their customers (other manufacturing companies) are now buying more
equipment as they are seeing an increase in sales and demand for their
products.

The same has been reported with other manufacturing customers of
mine...expanding and hiring.

One has to have their head in the sand if they think that there are not
good
jobs out there or that the US economy is hurting.

I talk with other professional in my field all the time, buisness is
booming around the country........except in Michigan.......right now it has
one of the worst economies in the country, with one of the highest
unemployment rates. It is localized due to the faltering auto companies,
high cost of labor due to the entrenched union mentality, high taxes, high
social costs (the cesspool known as the City of Detroit), and a govenor who
thinks she can tax her way to prosperity. We have been thinking of
uprooting our business and relocating elsewhere in the country.
