I Honestly have no intrest in the product or employment. Hopfully there nine dollar guys didnt get suckered into two bucks:lol:

if they paid you a battery a day you'd be rolling in dough!!!

I thought the 13th amendment made Slavery illegal in the USA? Apparantly not.

I agree with SPC, comments on this are a bit over the top. Jesus, it says 9+ DOE. More than fast food, and its a job! To the 8.5% of unemployed people in washington, it's a job. What do you expect? 100K/year with benefits to assemble packs? It's shit like this makes everything in this country move overseas and stuff that's actually still made here cost 500 times more than it should. People need to drop this sense of entitlement and come to terms with reality, or continue to hand over our status to China. Kind of off topic, should never have been brought up, but at least they are hiring. Unfortunately, they aren't going to get my business anymore in spite of everything I just stated. I'm sure they could be competitive and honest and cut their prices and costs on advertising and reflect that in their product but why? Whatever they're doing is working and there is too much money being made now to turn back. When it all catches up to them, they'll be under.

Then it's "Puff Pastry"

Minimum wage here is $8.67/hour. And yeah it says $9 DOE but nobody will get hired at anything above 9. Most places now will train people with no experience before they will hire an experienced worker....just so they can pay less. Sad, but very true. Just sayin'

Now off to something really off topic.....http://gogoburrito.com/ I wonder if brandon is the marketing director for this place also? I have driven by this place litterally hundreds of times and could not for the life of me figure out why the sign looks soo familiar. After looking online i figured out it was owned by Austin Else. Looks like good stuff, I might actually give Austin some of my money and try it out. The sign outside the store says "Burrito and a beer for $10" It better be a damn good burrito! I might head of there today for lunch actually :yes:

Unemployment pays up to 10 bucks an hour. Its hard for someone to take something like that when they can sit at home and make more money. Its a good argument both ways, we need cheap good labor, and we also need to make a living. I know I couldnt feed my family on 9 bucks an hour. I think unemployment in Vegas is around 16%. When I see jobs pop up in this price range they are met with some pretty nasty comments even out here.

Getting back on topic. I'm patiently waiting for the graphs that were promised.

That made me spit my coffee out on the PC screen. :lol:

Now, you can hire someone for $9/hr to fix it. :smile:

How do you think that would work out? :rofl:

This are so bad out here, for a couple bucks more an hour you can get a degreed electrical engineer out of school to clean your monitor. I can only hope the schools stopped telling them all they are going to make 60k a year out here. That only works when there are jobs available and you dont have 20 people that have experience applying for the same position.

So are you saying that it's ok for Businesses to take advantage of the present economic climate by offering exploitative wages to attract people who have already been kicked in the crotch so many times the past few years?

Yep. We have a minimum wage. If you don't like the pay, don't do the job. Businesses aren't charities.

I've done way crappier work than making batteries for much less than $9/hr. My first real job after college just 10 yrs ago paid just 15/hr and I had to work and pay to get a 4yr science degree to qualify.

$9/hr to give some unskilled guy a soldering iron and and heat gun seems like not a terrible deal. For every hour you work, you can go buy Austin's awesome burrito :) Not saying much for the quality, buy hey

So for a $230 pack, you get something assembled by someone on $9/hr. Awesome!

$9/hr for general labor sort of work isn't that bad. Would be a good job for somebody in school, I know I wouldn't mind assembling batteries for $9/hr. I really don't see what's so wrong about offering a job up for $9/hr?
