Who but the Times...
"Dave" wrote in message ... would piously intone platitudes about these low wage jobs "Americans are unwilling to fill?" http://www.rockymountainnews.com/drm...215724,00.html Its editors seem to live on a planet of their own. They certainly do! The Employment Office up in Greeley seats only about 12 customers so if a few showed up for something other than filing for unemployment the line would certainly go out the door. That's why no numbers are mentioned or why people were there. One even admitted he was there for unemployment and applied for a job at Swift (perhaps as required to keep the unemployment checks coming in?) Here's a link to the job postings at the Greeley office: http://www.eswc.org/lmi/locallmi/OESwage1.htm There are plenty of unfilled jobs similar to those at Swift. Look at the photo in the picture - see a big office? Looks like ten feet between the service counter and the glass windows. The city population is only 88,000. The Rocky Mountain News has a notorious conservative slant so there's your bias. That article was devoid of any numbers, the number of people applying, the number of jobs open all it said is the line went out the door. I suppose if someone drove up to the office quickly and a toilet clogged the article would report people rushing for job applications and the office was flooded. |

Your county certainly isn't doing much to attract teachers with wages like those. |

Your county certainly isn't doing much to attract teachers with wages like those. Katy, there's lines out the door for jobs here. Says so in the papers. Those teacher's wages aren't bad at all. Starting pay is even less where I'm at and you have to have a certificate, BS in the field you teach and additional education in teaching. Wages in general here are about 1/2 - 1/3 of what is paid in the Bay area. Companies move here to take advantage of cheap labor and find they can't get anyone so they go back east/west. The wealthy people here made their money somewhere else. |

Comparitive to N. or S. Carolina or Alabama, maybe... Starting pay is even less where I'm at and you have to have a certificate, BS in the field you teach and additional education in teaching. Let's hope to GOd for our kids sake that all school districts require those things! Wages in general here are about 1/2 - 1/3 of what is paid in the Bay area. Companies move here to take advantage of cheap labor and find they can't get anyone so they go back east/west. Some of them should go back to Michigan...there are plenty of people there who are willing to work for almost anything at the moment... The wealthy people here made their money somewhere else. Don't they always? |

Let's hope to GOd for our kids sake that all school districts require those things! Not always a good thing if the certificate is the most important element. In this state you have to be certified, but, you can range from what you are qualified to teach as long as you are certified. And uncertified experts in certain fields cannot teach because they are not certified. I've seen too many "certified" teachers taking a quick summer crash course to teach something they should have a specific degree in. And too many people with those degrees who can't teach because they are not certified. Certified does not always mean qualified. The private schools don't require the certification and they snap up the uncertified but highly qualified who have a desire to teach. Frank |
