I live right near a huge warehouse complex next to the Dayton International airport. Almost 8,000,000 square ft. of warehouse space. Chewy.com, 2 Amazon buildings, Champion Brands, 2 Croc's and many more. They ALL will hire you off the street, ON THE SPOT, for $20.00 an hour. You have to pee in a jar though. So you can work 3-4 days and when you fail your drug test, (which 80% do), they fire you and give you your 3-4 days pay. So you walk 400 ft. to the next warehouse and in 2 hours you are working again for 3-4 more days. You can repeat the process over and over and after 6 weeks, you can re-apply to the first warehouse where you failed drug test #1. So with even the slightest amount of energy, you can work a full time $20.00 an hour job and never pass a drug test and stay employed forever. Talked to the director of personal at the Chewy.com warehhouse. The average employee after they pass a drug test lasts 3 weeks on the job.
On the flip side, I can have an excellent student, a smart go-getter in a GM ASEP apprenticeship program working at a new car dealer on customer's 50K car or truck and the dealer will only pay these excellent candidates $11.00-12.50 an hour. How do they expect to get any decent employees in the future?
