What a load of crap! I recruit for a 50 state mortgage bank and a Texas security/bodyguard company. They’re both hiring! I still see “Help Wanted” signs here and Craigslist, Monster, CareerBuilder, HotJobs, NationJob, Dice and many others are full of positions. When they all dry up I’ll start believing this.
shhhhhhhhhh. You are ruining her pity party.
she’s 58..now tell me, what sort of bodyguard/security company would hire a woman at that age, and from the picture, not exactly in the shape required to perform those functions???????
It’s very easy for people to criticize, but if you’ve never been in that position, it’s utterly impossible for people to understand.
“Go get a job, any job” is a good slogan, but with rent/mortgage, car/truck payment, utilities, credit cards and God knows what else, how on earth is $10-$12 per hour, IF they can beat out the 20 year old with many, many more years to contribute, going to pay for that?
Elkhart Indiana is a big part of the problem. It has really been hammered.
She probably needs to look in another city.

Everywhere else is not Texas. Thinks might be ducky where you live but your area is the exception. We live in NH and the economy throughout the entire NE is terrible. My wife has been unemployed since November, she has exceptional references and over thirty years of experience as a paralegal and executive assistant and has been finding it all but impossible to find a job in spite of looking day in and day out throughtout the country. Please do not paint wiht a broad brush, a LOT of hard working Americans who find themselves out of work are hurting... big time.
FWIW, I saw, back about 7 years ago, a ton of Boeing jobs on Monster and Dice. I applied for every one. I didn’t even get so much as an interview until one of the guys went DIRECTLY to a hiring manager.
I was the only one they interviewed and I got the ridiculously high paying job.
I now understand how there can appear to be a lot of listings on those sites, yet few actually get hired.
There may be some hiring, but there may also be a lot of competition for 1 job. The more people out of work, the more fighting for the musical chair.
It seems like 2001 or so was worse if the online boards are any indicator. I remember Monster and others being essentially dead then.
