so the chicken or the egg. your problems comes back to haunt you from number 1.
most companies use proprietary software/equipment as a result it needs to be trained by the company itself. otherwise would cost an arm and a leg to get any training done. simply put the training has to be done on site not in a classroom. NO way around it.
The companies have to find a way to retain talent after training then.
perhaps promotions/wage increases or other things to retain them.
contractors WILL NOT be loyal and will be first to jump ship. contractors will likely lie to get the job and end up screwing things up and if you are lucky enough to find someone with the skills more than likely they are doing it for the money. either you hire them perm or they leave for greener pastures.
either way you need to build loyalty else employees WILL LEAVE.
contractors might be cheaper short term if you need no loyalty but contractors want to eventually become perms if they like you and want to be loyal.
that's a fact so if you end up betraying their expectations then contracts will eventually betray the company depending on their character and how long they will be willing to take it.

They are being offered $35,000 per year to start. They need $60,000 to pay their student loans, and live. They expect people to pay what they feel they need, not what the going rate for people in that profession with their education background are earning. Sometimes they cay $35,000 is not enough, but the going starting wage with their degree is only $30,000, so at $35,000 they are being paid better than most of the other people going into their chosen profession.
College degrees depending on which one, will pay $30,000 at the bottom of the scale to $100,000 to start for Petroleum Engineers. They took a degree in a field that pays very low, and expect to get twice that amount because they have a degree. Don't blame the employers that they won't pay you what you want, blame it on yourself for taking a low pay degree. You had your choice of what you studied for, you rolled the dice, and you end up in a low paid career. Others took degrees in fields, that pay high wages. Each of you chose your own education path.

as for this it totally depends on the city.
NYC a college grad making less?
than 40k is HORRIBLE.
30k are for high schools
40k are for entry level college grads with NO experience
50k+ are for desirable degrees college grads with NO EXPERIENCE
eg ENTRY LEVEL software development/engineers/software interns
ahem btw google pays their software interns 50-60k at least to start and once pass probation period as regulars then it would be higher.
best intern job ever there and more innovative and fun. but workaholics.
So high in demand
INTERNS can actually make MORE than a regular job depending on the company.
but that is because their skill sets are in demand and google actually TRAINS THEM.
I don't think many would leave google after joining them
unless they wanted to do their own startup company and take a chance at making millions with their idea.
or they would join perhaps another startup that they liked the idea.
SOLUTION FOR SMALL COMPANIES:
pay for car/gas apartments etc.
YOU CAN EXPENSE IT.
therefore the employee will not get hit with the 25-35% tax rates.
and would instead instantly get a bump of 35% raise if they dont need to pay uncle Sam a DIME in income tax.
INCOME TAX IS THE WORST TAX OF THEM ALL
REMEMBER never income taxes DO NOT TOUCH the rich much if at all.
either sales tax or property tax. and
ABOLISH THE INCOME-TAX
else all expenses of the employee billed to businesses that hire them is MUCH CHEAPER.
reminder to businesses STOP ASKING THE EMPLOYEE to provide CAPITAL GOODS.
the ONLY reason employees work for an employer is because EMPLOYERS have the capital goods for the business.
so stop asking employees to foot the bill for cars and gas, remember in NYC INSURANCE COSTS 150-300+ dollars for min collision insurance on a 500-2000 dollar used crappy car.
so maybe rent an apartment and that would be some base pay package worth
2k rent expense non taxable 24000
300 dollars car lease expense non taxable 3600
200 gas monthly expense non taxable 2400
300-500 breakfast/lunch/dinner/groceries per month 3600
total 33600 non taxed
give them an extra 9000 spending money salary taxed but government cannot tax around 9000 much if at all. then they can go on welfare as well.
total 42600
+ welfare 200 ebt-extra food they want per person.
maybe other perks they want 2400 at least
total 45000 if done this way.
abusing the system tax loopholes mainly caused by the STUPID INCOME TAX system.
I do not know why more companies not pay with rent + food + gas + cars.
benefits instead of pay package.
it would cost them less and they can tax deduct it.
if they did that then 45000 would be the full amount
if they paid 45000 it is automatically worth 30000 to the employee so it is WORTHLESS
are they stupid? or maybe there is a law that forbids paying expenses of the employee as expense from business activities?
ahem it is business activities it is paying for the oil of the robot you are using...
