There’s far more jobs than workers. Many of which require no experience, or degree’s etc.
The real problem is people don’t know how to get jobs. Everybody posts how they’ve sent out hundreds or thousands of resume’s, with no luck. Yet, any dummy can go to walk in day labor, with no experience or degree’s, and get a job instantly. It might not be the job you want, but it’s a job. No resume needed.
Jobs posted online who want a resume, get thousands of applications to choose from, and you better bet they’re going to cherry pick from them, and the people who actually get those jobs already have a very stable employment history. They want people who are currently working, and looking to upgrade their positions. That shows good work ethic.
The unemployed need to start at the bottom of the ladder, and work their way up. You need to prove your work ethic first, and then that will open up better opportunities.
It’s also possible to get some very high paying jobs through day labor and temp agencies. I once took a job driving an ice cream truck, commission only, but it sounded like fun. Made $500 the first day, and they offered me the job full time. I took it, and had a blast working all summer. Made $70/hr doing drain cleaning, no experience necessary. $200-$300/day driving a pedicab.
Officially I was a construction worker, but when work was slow, day labor always had my back, and sometimes better paying jobs than my regular job.
Driving down the street, there are help wanted signs everywhere. Lawn care jobs are desperate for workers this time of year. Get your jobs in person. Craigslist has tons of jobs with no experience required, and only locals are applying, not people from all over the country.
First we need to know how to get jobs immediately, then we need to be willing to take whatever is available. That’s how you get started, then you can wait for better opportunities. Any job is better than no job.
