typed in rec.crafts.metalworking the following:
Yeah, whenever I have trouble on the job here in the big city east coast, I go yelling and screaming to the unemployment agency. They usually help work things out before I quit or anything like that.

I updated my resume last week and shipped out about 25 copies to local
companies that I would fit into. Chuckle..I took the online test for
the local Frito-Lay factory..they are looking for a 2nd shift maint
guy..and after completing the rather wierd and inane online test..was
told that there wasnt any openings that I would fit into...but they
will hold my application for 6 months and then I can try again.
Snicker

Im starting to wonder if its my age that is the problem. I figure Ive
got at least another 10 yrs of full time work..but I send out the
resumes and applications..and hear nothing back from any of them.
Shrug. Im not hispanic..which I know is an issue to some....

You got that matricular card ... so in a day and age when they
have to accept a "woman" with the XY chromosomes, why can't you
"identify" as a wetback?

California is in deep trouble, as are all the industries here.

California is in deep trouble, the industries are an effect. Of
course, "Sacramento" will again get smacked by The Good Idea Fairy,
and lackign adult supervision, will promptly implement such a Good
Idea. Causing more industries to close/leave/go galt.

I remember a couple years ago, when the press releases were about
the increasing rate of 'large' companies announcing their departure
from the California employment scene (by closing or moving). Haven't
heard much in the last couple years, is that because there aren't any
large companies left to require press releases when they leave, or are
those incidents now "misreports"?

They are STILL leaving..it just isnt talked about much by the MSM.

The fact is that a LOT of people in California, virtually all of them
with less skills than you claim to posses. They have jobs, and you do
not. Do you think anyone reading has trouble figuring out the reason
for the disparity?

Oh Im sure they can. I dont work at a MickeyDs

You don't work anywhere, and no proper outfit will hire you. Your only
hope is a junkyard or something. Even then, there's no shortage of $10
an hour guys who'd make better employees than you.


Cites? Ive got an interview Wed. Managing a maint dept. Wish me
luck!



Hope you get the job


Me too! Its getting really bad here in California, both in
manufacturing and in the oil fields.

An interesting article about the town I live in and the surrounds

https://orionmagazine.org/article/th...f-kern-county/



The oil fields are just about totally shut down..least they are not
doing any rework, pump changes etc etc. Im my particular town...more
and more houses are on the For Sale/For Rent/Abandoned list...this is
very much like the oil collapse of the mid 1980s, which caused me to
ultimately switch careers and run a time clock company and then get
into machinery service.
