These jobs should be reserved for 14 year old kids needing new bike money.
We need jobs period. We have to many job seekers and yet not enough jobs being created and/or filled. Think about it. We have many older workers losing pensions or jobs before they can retire. They don't eerie much training and have references vs. the high schoolers who need "bike money" or whatever.
