[QUOTE="Bagels, post: 1503460, member: 43436"] They're not excuses; BLS statistics clearly demonstrate that real compensation is decreasing, the number of "good paying" menial jobs shrinking, and growth in skilled/professional jobs still weak. Secondly, the nature of PT@UPS is not for everybody. In many buildings, including the one I'm working in, you are initially placed on call (re: call the building every single day to see if work is available) but need to be available every single day. Most people have bills to pay (imagine that!) and simply cannot afford to spend a year on call. And finally, a lot of the "old timers" on here live in a world in which you can work at a local retail store and make mediocre money, move to Las Vegas and earn big bucks as a slot attendance or relocate to Detroit and earn UPS FT-type money working in an auto factory. Nor did they spend a year on-call at UPS and work PT for 10 years at near minimum wage. [/QUOTE]
