I think I saw a special on tv in which they interviewed a father there who was fighting allowing his divorced wife from getting his sons and also bragging that he was not getting an education because firing guns was practically all the training they required.
Here's an article, as well, not as interesting, about the new tent cities:
Technological change and job exporting seem to have saddled the American taxpayer with more people who can no longer support themselves. Meanwhile foreigners are taking jobs that we are told Americans will not do. One of the guys interviewed is a landscaper and general contractor who cannot find work.

Usually the police won't let people camp like that.
There is someone on another city thread asking for someone to work 10 to 15 hours a week for $10 an hour to do anything from opening mail to scrubbing toilets. No takers so far.

Maybe it is an odd location where the few hours per week would not pay for the transportation to and from work. Perhaps they want a person in the morning to open mail for an hour and then for an hour at night to clean toilets.
People try to get two or three jobs but to do that they must be fairly close together. Maybe this business is far away from other possibilities.
If someone has a job like that you just know they will quit when the economy opens up and/or something better comes along.
If someone has been pushed by the economy to live way out in the middle of nowhere because they can survive on just social security out there, why would they spend such a big chunk on transportation to get to a job that pays them what they spent to get there?
9 of every 10 available jobs is a low wage service sector job. It doesn't matter how badly you want to work or what sex acts you are willing to perform on the hiring manager. You will not be getting any job unless you fit the ethnic, racial or social demographic of the existing labor force at the worksite. The only exception: public sector municipal civil service.

Could be:
1. People are doing their own landscaping or getting illegals to do it.
2. He lost his job because his employer found 2 illegals to do the job for the same hourly rate he was getting (2 for 1), and the employer doesn't have to provide benefits or pay government taxes/payments that an employer incurs.
