I wish they would name where these jobs are. I know people who would like one. But many manufacturing jobs not only pay low wages but have a very high turnover and has weird shifts and hours. Some make you rotate first second and third shifts on 12 hr workdays. That doesn't work well with parents who have to try to find that kind of childcare hours.

As for drug testing,,,y bother? These tests can only catch the pot users who are not a threat to your business. The crack, coke and meth users can pass the test easily. It's only pot that stays in your system for long periods. They use it to deny workers comp. If you have an accident on the job, u r drug tested. Yes, it's true that joint that you smoked 4 weeks ago is what caused the accident today. It has nothing to do with the employers lack of safety standards.

as for the unemployment issue-it is true that some wait for the unemployment to run out. Why? Because they are collecting about 150.00 a week. They will only collect about 200 a week at these low paying jobs. Now deduct, gas, lunches, and child care and you are going to make less while working 40 hours a week and being away from your kids. Only an idiot would take a nothing job (no career, no advancement) over continuing their search and staying on unemployment. In fact, the law is that they don't have to take a less paying job. So if these jobs paid even 9.00 and hour, they would be filled even by the people on unemployment.
