Or Nursing jobs or stuff like that. People gotta get back to school though many people either don't have the energy or concentration to do it. I'm going back for Engineering, for example and about half the class failed the Differential Equations class. I did alright, thank goodness.

and they are just looking for a shovel and a bindle full of dreams, right? I mean, it would be really great if we lived in a place where I could just pick up a shovel, save up and make a living...but it just doesn't work that way.

But now there are a lot more people competing for those jobs...
I mean, has our population really grown that much in four years?

In fact, even if it has, this has more than been offset by the generational phenomenon of Baby-boomers leaving the workforce through retirement or death, as well as the return home of many illegal aliens (combined with less arrivals).



So, with Babyboomers retiring, we should be in good shape even with an average amount of openings for now. Though, because they are retiring, they won't be buying any more fast cars or barbeques.
