Europe is looking significantly better than we are at this time, if you want the ugly truth.

Not by much though Urban.

the Euro is getting weak as hell due to Greece, Ireland, Portugal, Spain etc.

I think this was a bit out of line. Anyone with the will and desire to work at least deserves a chance.

As for wages, entry level positions tend to pay considerably better than fast food, which begs the question... Why are people lining up to get a mcjob instead of putting in an honest day's work in a factory? You certainly aren't going to be getting any overtime at a mcjob or wally world either...

andywire is right about the benefits part.
Actually it is the "white-collar" factories that do not provide any benefits (usually)

I'm gonna move to North Dakota haha
