[QUOTE="JSCATTLE, post: 847459, member: 16648"] Imo there isn't enough people learning trades. So many people go to college for jobs that don't require you to actually work . I have about 20 or more people ask me for a job every year that has a college degree . And I pour concrete .I usually give them a chance but they quit in 2 weeks . As entry level employees they expect to make 40k a year but they know nothing about the work we do .can you imagine how much everything would cost if we paid everyone what they think they are worth ? my mom for example works at a local lumber yard . She has been there for 12 years and makes about 13 an hour as a cashier . She was complaining about her wages the other day . I told her she was lucky to make that much in that position . You have to top out in pay sooner or later just because you work there for 20 years doesn't mean you get 20 raises . You have to learn a new skill and advance . That's y the unions have hurt the work force. They expect to stay at the same skill level and get raises every year . I realise there is inflation to keep up with and cost of living goes up but labor prices cause all of that . [/QUOTE]
