In reply to the discussion: U.S. Added 201,000 Jobs in August; Unemployment Rate Steady at 3.9% [View all]Mad-in-Mo
(229 posts)28. So why did we have 180 applicants
recently for a clerical position paying $12.00 an hour? And yet my conservative co-workers tell me that "because of what Trump did for jobs" there are more jobs than there are applicants and employers can't fill positions. Also that the people that are hired don't want to work, really. I'm confused.
