"Suddenly, some jobs don’t seem that gross" by Christopher Leonard, Associated Press | August 9, 2009
Some of the dirtiest, smelliest, most dangerous jobs are looking a lot more appealing in this economy. People who have been out of work for months are lining up for jobs at places they once considered unthinkable: slaughterhouses, sewage plants, prisons.
“I have to just shut my mouth because I can’t do anything about it,’’ said Nichole McRoberts of Sedalia, Mo., who pictured more for herself at age 30 than working in a poultry plant, cutting diseased or damaged flesh off chicken carcasses.
Recessions and tight job markets always force some people to take less-desirable or lower-paying work than they are used to. But this recession has been the most punishing job destroyer in at least 60 years, slashing a net total of 6.7 million jobs.
And they are never coming back.
All told, 14.5 million people were out of work last month, with a jobless rate of 9.4 percent. The result is that many people have had to seek jobs they would not have considered in the past.
Lot higher than that.
Take Kristen Thompson. Before the recession, she worked at an upscale Los Angeles-area gym arranging pricey one-on-one personal training sessions. Now she’s a guard at a women’s prison in rural Wyoming. After the gym laid her off last year, Thompson spent months looking for work. Even fast-food restaurants didn’t respond to her application.
So that's why Wendy's hasn't got back to me.
For each opening, dozens of other people seemed willing to work for less money.
And yet, the lying newspapers told us it is a one-to-six ratio. Yup. Bye, bye, newspaper.
Maybe SOME of YOU GLOBE REPORTERS might want to read this article yourselves. Give you some good carreer options.
When she heard that a prison in Lusk, Wyo., (population 1,447) was hiring, she leapt at the chance. In her new job, she patrols cellblocks and monitors the mess hall. Back in LA, she never had to worry about inmates with weapons or drug stashes or prisoners getting into fights. Yet she’s hardly complaining. It’s a job.
While the BANKS and the WAR LOOTERS make BILLIONS from the LOOT the POLITICIANS STOLE from your pocket, 'murka!!!!!!!
“People have to pay the bills, so what we see is people kind of grasping at straws and taking anything that’s available,’’ said Matthew Freedman, assistant professor of labor economics at Cornell University.
The way a DROWNING MAN GRASPS at an ANCHOR THROWN to HIM!!!
The desperation of the long-term jobless has rippled through the labor force. More skilled and educated workers have filled clerical or restaurant jobs. So unskilled workers such as teenagers or high school graduates who once held most of those positions have displaced those even lower on the economic ladder, such as immigrants, Freedman noted.
Awwwwwwww! Then they can GO HOME! NO one is stopping them!!!
The intensified competition has hurt all workers - even those who are still employed - because it shrinks wages. Employers don’t have to pay more to lure workers. That helps explain why personal income fell 0.1 percent in June, excluding the one-time benefits of the government’s stimulus program. Wages have fallen each month since October - a total of 5 percent over the past eight months. Indeed, many people who have had to downshift to unsavory jobs have found they’re now earning less, too.
But SOMEHOW BANKS and WAR LOOTERS are DOING FINE!
Heck, corporations are all reporting "better-than-expected" profits while you hold a bag of shit, America!
With two kids to support and just a high school diploma, McRoberts has few options in the job market. “I feel like I’m not accomplishing much,’’ said McRoberts, who lives with her boyfriend and children. “I’m paying my bills and my rent, but that’s it.’’
A year ago, McRoberts had a good job building tool boxes at Waterloo Industries Inc. The work was fast-paced and fun. And the nearly $14 an hour was plenty to pay the bills. But as production slowed, Waterloo cut her hours. By February, she was out of a job.
Around Sedalia, some other employers had begun cutting staff, too. The result was a crowded job market and few openings.
That's why I quite looking. Living on families good will now -- and the insults cinched this budget cut.
As her options dwindled, McRoberts decided to apply at a Tyson Foods Inc. poultry plant. She found work on the “re-processing line,’’ where damaged birds are sent by Agriculture Department inspectors who spot bruises or sores on carcasses.
The plant is wet and noisy. McRoberts worries about injuries when nearby workers use knives to cut birds in a hurry. McRoberts spends evenings searching the Internet for other openings, but they are scarce. Work at poultry plants has often been done by recent immigrants, who now face more competition for such jobs.
You know, the ONES WE WON'T DO!
Had it with the LIARS and the INSULTS YET, shit-eating 'murkns!!!!!!???????
“It’s easy for someone like your middle manager to take on a job at a poultry plant, because they have the skills to do many things. But for the immigrant, that might have been the only option,’’ said Catherine Singley of the National Council of La Raza, an immigrant advocacy group.....
Yeah, it is OKAY to be a RACIST in the AGENDA-PUSHING ZIONIST PAPER as long as you are NOT WHITE!!!!!!!

I rest my case.
And IF YOU ARE WHITE, you will be ACCUSED of it ANYWAY!!!
When officials in Stamford, Conn., posted a single position at the local sewage plant, more than 300 people raised their hands - about twice the number who would seek such jobs before the recession. About 100 made the cut and were allowed to take a test and interview. The work: Drying up wastewater sludge and operating chlorine tanks.
I'm tired of double-talking bulls*** lies about business in the papers so these articles are likely to be passed over in the future as well. Screw the bitter Boston Globe and its insults.
After months of unemployment, that job sounded appealing to 26-year-old Gary Cappiello of Norwalk. Cappiello had worked in the maintenance department of a Target store before being laid off last year. “I’m just applying for anything now - even if the job is low-paying or not a comfortable position,’’ he said. “It’s just getting to a desperate point. The bills need to be paid.’’
Yup, pay of those usurious lenders first thing no matter what.
Recently, he found out he didn’t make the cut at the sewage plant.
More fortunate is Ronnie Purtty, 50, who said he’s grateful for his new job gathering trash in narrow St. Louis alleyways. Purtty used to work in the air-conditioned cab of a truck, hauling steel to local factories. He was laid off last fall. He spent four months looking for work before landing a job as a trash collector for the city’s “bulk item’’ crew.
Wearing thick leather gloves, Purtty hauls sodden carpet, moldy mattresses, and nail-studded lumber into a truck. As he sorts through mounds of garbage, he watches out for rats, spiders, and raccoons.
He isn’t complaining. It beats unemployment. “I was blessed to get in here,’’ he said.

"Town weighs in on Guantanamo detainees; Many want to see Mich. facility stay open at all costs" by Kari Lydersen, Washington Post | August 9, 2009
STANDISH, Mich. - Prison employees and residents of this northern Michigan town are proud of the facility and want to keep it open at all costs, even if that means becoming the new home of Guantanamo Bay detainees....
Yup, even if it means IMPRISONING INNOCENT PEOPLE FOREVER!
You MAKE ME SICK, shit-swilling 'murkns!! 9/11 was an INSIDE JOB!
Get it through your THICK, SHIT-WALLED SKULLS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
(Why not let the verbiage fly sionce I'm bailing on the Globe? When I quit purchasing them, believe me, the anger will lessen because I won't be reading them)
Residents here are most concerned about keeping some of the 340 jobs and other economic sustenance the prison provides....
Yeah, FUCK SAVING a SCHOOL or HOSPITAL or something.
A hand-painted sign outside the lockup begs “Save Our Town, Save Standish Max,’’ referring to the collection of buildings behind razor-topped fencing that contains 604 beds, usually reserved for maximum-security inmates. Throughout the quaint, somewhat ramshackle borough of 1,500 people, marquees and handmade posters outside churches, bars, and Denise’s Beauty Barn carry the same message.
The facility is one of three prisons and five correctional camps slated to close because of the state budget crisis and a declining prison population. The Michigan Department of Corrections needs to cut $120 million from its $2 billion budget for the fiscal year that will start in October, and 500 to 1,000 jobs will be lost with the closings.
State officials are making a last-ditch effort to turn Standish into a medium-security facility for about 1,100 California prisoners. They also proposed housing inmates from Alaska. And then there is the Guantanamo Bay option. Some residents loathe the idea of suspected terrorists locked up in their town, but relish the chance to keep people employed....
Even the choice of words and terminology is insulting to a human being.
Who would really want to pay to read this shit anymore?

That's what you are reading every time you pick up your insulting jewspaper, 'murka.
Thomas Birkett, Standish warden, first heard about the proposal on TV. “There had been rumors, but no one in our department knows what it means, no one can tell you anything,’’ he said. Officials from the departments of defense, justice, and homeland security will visit potential sites for Guantanamo detainees in the next few weeks, said the office of Representative Bart Stupak of Michigan.
