Where are these jobs? I've been looking for to monthes and haven't got a single call back. I have a degree and can't find employement so I can move home to help with my family!


Either he thinks he's freakin' God or he thinks I am. Either way, I'm about to get a cheap, perverse thrill out of crushing his entire belief system.

Welcome to the club. . . Pretty grim out this way. You may want to rethink that if you can.

Work in Indy and this town looks pretty good.  Can you say bedroom community.  That is what Anderson has/is becoming.


I hope that you have a great day today and I that your tomorrow is even better than you can imagine..

To be honest, I was surprised when I saw it too. It might be the same number of jobs, but they're finding more now? Or less jobs but they're finding more. Not scientific, but I thought it would spur some conversation, which is what AFP is all about.

I honestly can't remember the last time I saw a "Help Wanted" sign in a store window; maybe they just don't do that anymore. I think Rusty is right; what few jobs are available in central Indiana are mainly in the Indianapolis area.

The sad thing is that most of the jobs that are around will not keep a family a float. they have to have more than one

So true, Wildcat. My daughter-in-law is an ACSC elementary teacher; she recently had to give up her 2nd job, decorating cakes at the Noblesville WalMart because of scheduling problems. A COMPUTER does their work schedules, not a human you can talk to about scheduled shifts!

CyberGeezer:

Reading your last comment causes me to think about something related.  For those people who have commented in several threads that the city, schoolboard, whatever entity "must cut heads", computerized scheduling and less flexible working conditions become more of the NORM rather than the EXCEPTION with fewer employees.  While it might in deed be necessary to reduce head count in an organization, everyone should be prepared for collateral damage (so to speak) in some unintended areas.


Why do they call it "Common Sense" when so damn few people have it?

Right you are, JLS, but it seems expediency out-trumps common sense every time. Computers do a wonderful job... at some things. At other times, a rational human in authority is what is sorely needed. I believe that Dilbert's "pointy-headed boss" is becoming the rule, rather than the exception. Maybe Palehorse can confirm or deny this for me; he's had some experience with the subject. For myself, I remember the "good old days" of Delco-Remy, when, if you had a problem with your paycheck, or an insurance-related question, you could just stop in at Plant 1 on Columbus Ave., go to the appropriate office, and usually settle the matter one way or the other right then and there. None of this call an 800 number, press button 3, listen to elevator music crap. And no computer was making the decisions!
