I already have people turning down jobs 15 miles from home that pay $15 because, after gas, they don’t think it’s worth it.

I know the temp. agency I do extra work for is having trouble finding merchandisers. All the jobs require travel, they have been offering ‘extra’ pay for travel on top of their standard mileage reimbursement.

Exactly right. I just passed on one that would require a 100 mile a day commute, at 20mpg, and $4.10/gallon just too much overhead versus pay...
