  1. I made $12.50 (or more) per hour in 1995 – that’s 23 years ago for the math challenged – running a route dropping off and picking up linen. $12.50 an hour isn’t enough to rent a cardboard box under the freeway in southern California.

  2. It’s for Lance Campers, a revolving-door employer in the AV who lays off all of its non-Spanish speaking employees once a year when business slows down. If you want to work for a few months and be laid off and drawing unemployment by Xmas, then by all means, go for it.

    • It sure beats when BYD was paying $1.50 an hour and playing Safety Bingo. Rex sure loves supporting countries that have horrific human rights violations. It is consistent with his campaigns of character destruction over the years.

  3. I remember when I was unemployed having 12.50 an hour interviews being declined due to over qualifications… shrug … I was starving suicidal and desperate at the time. I wanted the paycheck no matter what. They will only hire inexperienced young people not giving a crud that sometimes even over qualified people just need food and water.

  4. Another job circus to solicit for underpaid skilled employment. Its quite evident that quality employers don’t need a fair when the remuneration is.

    • And why intentionally obfuscate the employers name?

      “…for a company in the Lancaster area.”

      • Because the reason they put on what you call a “job circus” is so that they don’t have to deal with a parade of people disrupting their business on their own schedule. You want a job, show up when and where they are doing interviews.

  7. This is crazy who can support a family on $12.50? Let alone oneself. AV jobs will always be a joke, these are the jobs both mayors brag about bring into their cities.

    • You think that just standing in a line is going to land you a job to support your family? No. It will get you a low wage to start. If you want a living wage job, take your lazy butt to a local college or trade school and learn a skill that’s in demand. ANYONE can do it. There is NO excuse.

      • Mike is absolutely correct. These are entry-level positions designed for, well, entry level. If someone wants more, they must become more. Life is meant to be a ladder, not a bed.
