I'd hate it. But what's the alternative?

A regular paycheck shits all over unemployment benefits.

Mate I took a job working night shift at Maccas, and that's actually working out fine.

Well nothing. Unemployment runs out end of March. And there really isn't anything else out here.There is one option---- Schooling

And there really isn't anything else out here.

Bullshit.  I hear people say that all the time, but there is plenty of work available, ya just got to do it.  I've washed down hog buildings, shoveled off roofs, cleared sidewalks, I even worked at a pizza joint to keep money coming in.  There is always work available if you want it.

Ya would think those jobs would be available, but the damn Mexicans have taken those jobs too. I have contacted the local farmers for milking, same-thing. I'm just looking for a 8-12 hr work week. I'll take any shift it doesn't matter to me, I need money coming in. The past year I have applied to more than 30 company's and only had 20 interviews.

There's truth in both of those.

Well got the postion starting tomorrow. Ill let you know what crazy hours I'll be working.

[Carlriddle]

Congrats on landing the job.  They are a necessary evil for buggy building; money.  So I guess we'll see you about once a week, just like the wife.

[fabr]

The hours may suck but it beats the alternatives.

[Wyattboche]

Its not hard work just long work days. I'll have 58 hours by saturday. The pay is ok $16.85. then when I get hired on fulltime $18.50 an hour.

[fabr]

Other than not having a life it's not all that bad. Around here it's top wage.

[Boilermaker]

I was making $16.80 in 1985 then things slowed down and wages dropped to$12.90 and stayed there a few years before creeping back up. In 2004 was making $26.00 and i would like to say that i NEVER made TOO much money. Seems like i retired at the right time because, not only is wages down but not enough work/jobs and the jobs there are make you jump thru hoops and be glad to do it!!!

[Wyattboche]

So is there any jobs in Arizonia? They let me go for no reason today. Oh we don't need you anymore see ya. WTF

[Nutz4sand]

Sorry to hear that.

Arizonas unemployment rate is over 10% and nearly as bad as Michigan.

Utah is much better and a offroaders dreamland for the most part. Just food for thought.

I sure there was a reason
