Im offering 2 weeks wages as a signing bonus and 20 an hour for unskilled laborers. The kids that come to me are all pumped up until I tell them its not payable until theyve had 90 days worked. Then almost every single one of them walks. They cant even bear the thought of working for 90 days. It is very disheartening.
And skilled tradesmen are commanding double the wages they got just 2 years ago. Which isnt all bad when you consider wages in the trades had stagnated since the 90s when NAFTA was implemented and our border was ignored. The biggest problem is that wage has jumped that much in just the last four months and with fuel and material costs skyrocketing its hard to keep my prices in line with costs. The last thing a builder wants to hear when all his costs are rising that his contractors are hiking prices too.
We are producing a generation that wants something for nothing and like Mrs. Thatcher said socialism is awesome until you run out of other peoples money.
