As I travel the 5, going from L.A. to Southern Oregon and back down, I see many road projects going on, listed as the "American Recovery Act". Not sure how many jobs are created or who gets rich off of them. at least they're fixing our freeways... a few feet at a time. Apparently it's a 10 year project.
I've been out since April, trying to decide if I should stay here and continue looking for work in the field I'm normally employed, or pack it in at age 53 and relocate up north. I too feel bad for the future generations just starting to look around for work, good luck to all, sorry it's not gonna be the fairy tales read to you in your youth.
Question, when they post unemployment numbers do they take into consideration the kids just hitting 18 that have never been on the books?
I live in South Florida and what really upsets me the last 6-7 years is seeing who is actually working on the roads. I would bet as many as 75% are illegals. These used to be great jobs. Shovel ready BS. We do need to clean out elected officials who have any involvement with cronyism. Please note that many of the large Road Construction Companies hire lobbyists to throw work their way. It's a scam! Google Ranger Construction and Vecellio tell me its not.
