If there are more jobs than employees then you can hang out all kinds of money and still not get a qualified person to apply for the job. I realize that most of the country is supposed to be in hard times as far as employment goes, but where I am there are those that can barely tie their shoes and then those that have their own business. Pay $15 or $25 or even $50 per hour and the clone of the guy you fired last week at $12 is going to show up and nobody else.

In this market those that are capable of running a crew are either self employed or they have moved on to a cleaner easier job that pays the same or better.

I'm sure that in other areas that will work fine, but not here. I have the feeling that it is not much different in Trumbull.

PS. Where are you located, Paul?
