[SBE] HD plant construction engineer needed

[Jeff Carter]

Henry,

Maybe you're right, and it is all about location, location, location.

On the other hand, most job openings in economically depressed areas
get tons of applicants.  That's expected.  *Qualified* applicants, now
that's another matter.

Thanks for all the replies.  I wasn't trying to tell you your
business, by the way, I was just sort of amazed by what was being said
and couldn't keep quiet.

Jeff

Gee, isn't offering 70% above market/union scale in line with
upholding pay rates?   It may not be your market/union rate but I bet
Montrose CO, Alpena, MI, and a lot of other markets pay less.  This
industry is based on market size, station annual budget and union
contracts. Feel free to demand all the $ you want. You may or may not
get it.  Wasn't it some multi-TV station group in west OK or TX that
wanted a 24/7 chief to work over a 400 mile circuit with no car no
tools, no equipment, no insurance and had to fix the casters on the
chairs for $35k a year, and filled the job?  It was posted the station
had tons of applicants.  $20/hr is $41,600/yr plus OT, and benies and
half your SS paid, unemployment insurance paid, worker's comp paid,
and you can collect unemployment as a wage earner since you paid into
the system. Self employed? Who you gonna claim unemployment from?
