There are jobs. Nobody will do them!

[Jason76]

Some factory jobs are available in my county. There is a high turnover rate - despite 40 hour work-weeks and 15 dollars an hour! (a high wage here). Anyway, considering all the able bodied people on welfare, this seems sort of funny.

But why can't people survive there? Is it too tough? I thought southern people were tough with all these rebel stuff and whatnot! OK, is there too much teasing on the job? OK, again, I thought macho people can ignore it.

Oh, and another thing! So much racism against Mexicans, but they can't even keep locals at these glass plant jobs! Please !! 😀

Sometimes people just want to complain for the sake of being heard, not being right. There is no pill for common sense, and we have our share of ignorant people in this world. 😕

You mean in regards to Mexicans? Yeah, that would be true. Everyone wants to pop pills, draw welfare, and complain about Mexicans taking jobs.

But you know! The image is the thing! We look like were tough. We talk tough. But we aren't tough !!!

Because no one wants to work in a factory, just like no one wants to sweep the floors, collect the trash, or clean the sewers.

I wished I lived in the States I would welcome almost any job with pay such as that.

But Mexicans will do that! Little girls won't do that! 😉

Such a fortunate country yet a good number of its citizens takes its privileges for granted.

As a foreigner if I had residency in the US I would be a wealthy man in 5 years minimum.

Some people won't work certain jobs, because of multiple reasons. For me, I can't work factory jobs because of a health condition that makes it difficult to work standing for long periods of time. I would like the typical wage from those jobs, but cant work them unless I was allowed to sit as part of work.

That's understandable but what about those who are able-bodied and can do the work but refuse to?

 

[Jason76]

Some things like asbestos or nuclear waste would be an excuse.

I don't understand? If it was that easy, there would be many more wealthy people in the US.

I wouldn't say that it's the rule all the time, but in general, people who wind up wealthy tend to be those who put a lot of work into things, although it doesn't mean that if you do the same repetitive task in a factory for ten years that you'll necessarily be successful, unless you step into higher positions.

considering all the able bodied people on welfare

The thing with welfare in a lot of cases is that you either have it or you don't.

The moment you start working, it all stops and what you get is in accordance with the amount of hours worked, so you wind up working 40 hours for a meagre gain in comparison to what you would have gotten for doing nothing.

That is the biggest flaw of most welfare systems.

Never said it would be easy.

Work multiple jobs, live way below your means then invest your savings into profitable investment vehicles.

It's way too easy to get distracted in the States.

So many opportunities as well.

 

[Jason76]

I'm being sarcastic somewhat. See the right-wing mantra in the US is that people are lazy and lack toughness. So i was wondering why these "everyday joe" jobs Trump supports have no takers among a "blue collar population".

 

[Azareal]

Not the U.S. specifically, but I do find that a lot of the corner shops, restaurants, etc. are setup by non-locals. They do seem to be more enterprising.

And it's not like locals can't spend $10 thousand or what-not to open something up.

Jobs in factories will probably be replaced by automation at some point.
And I'm not sure how what you said contradicts people being lazy and lacking toughness, if anything, it reinforces it.

Yes and no.

Working multiple jobs for the average person might be difficult if they already work full time at one job. Saving money is also difficult once you have a family, as cost of living plays a huge factor into how much you'll be able to save and how much you make.

Yes, there are opportunities, but I know several qualified people who can't get a job because of competition.

I mean putting in a lot of work doesn't guarantee that you'll make it, part of it still has to do with your luck.

Maybe, you will. Maybe, you won't. But, nothing is going to happen, if people do nothing.
Plus, you have chances to learn from your mistakes.

 

[Jason76]

The requirement for the factory jobs I mentioned is showing up everyday and on time. So how does this factor in?

Probably just low wages and long work hours. There's also a very small chance of moving up to higher positions at these jobs.
