[QUOTE="Bagels, post: 1884692, member: 43436"] It's hard for me to tell if you're being serious, but let's be realistic: I work in an industrialized city in the Midwest - in other words, a place that's not a hotbed for jobs. Yet UPS cannot fill PT jobs. In the past couple years, UPS has hired a FT recruiter, began offering tuition reimbursement to hourly PTers & chartered a daily bus to connect my suburban facility with the urban transportation center. Yet... UPS cannot fill PT jobs. So would a 10-year-old felony drug conviction matter here? Absolutely not. Reality is, the "job makers" have manipulated wags so much over the past 15 years so that tens of millions of jobs offer similar low wages with no added benefits. When UPS is offering $10/hour to get up at 3AM and work 3-hours per day whereas Walmart offers the same for flexible 8-hour shifts, guess who's gonna get the worker? FT recruiters, tuition reimbursement & daily chartered busses are enormously expensive & it'd be much cheaper to raise the stating pay... but Corporate America does these things because they hope they'll be temporary, whereas wages hikes are often permanent.
