This thread is for the working folks only, no need to hear any wise cracks from the guys who've already paid their dues and are retired, lol...

What industry are you in and how's your work holding out? I'm in the construction industry and it's on again off again, definitely not booming by any means, far from it actually.

Ford's Louisville Assembly Plant is filling 1800 positions starting at $15.00 dollars per hour. There's some company in southern Indiana called "Connextions" (never heard of them before) that just announced they're hiring 750, not sure what the pay scale is, not sure what they do either although it looked like people will be sitting in front of a computer all day long. I also saw where Mercury Marine up in Wisconsin is going to be hiring 150 people within the next two months, these positions will make $10.00 an hour to start.

$10.00/$15.00 dollars an hour is better than minimum wage, and it definitely beats a blank, but who can survive on that?

Out of the three companies I listed, one job looks to be sitting at a computer, another one (Ford) will assemble things that are made somewhere else, and I'm not sure about Mercury Marine.

How's your work holding out?
