In order to stay in business with the recent economic developments companies can no longer sit back and wait for revenue streams start to pour in. This is evident by the massive increase in sales positions in the local Las Vegas Job Market.
I hear people complain that there aren’t enough jobs out there. Well there are not enough of the types of Jobs that they want. Companies outsourced many call-center Jobs to foreign countries because of the cost of having to keep the call-centers full. The same thing is evident with the Big 3 having financial problem when their linemen make $77 an hour.
For a company to operate properly it has to make more money than it puts out. And when people don’t want to work for the wages that are three times higher than a competitive country then of course jobs are going to be shipped overseas. Example: A call-center rep in India makes $600 US dollars a month, That is the same about that a Las Vegas call-center rep makes in a week.
So when people see Jobs (Station Casino’s Reservations Department) get shipped overseas that is why. I’m sure if they could get people willing to work $8 or $9 an hour they would keep it in Las Vegas. Instead the company can’t do that because the business equation doesn’t work out anymore.
What’s happened is a lot of Call-Center Jobs that were in Las Vegas a few years ago are no longer, and the ones that are here are commission based jobs. I hear people say all the time that they have a family to feed and that they can’t do that on commission, because if they don’t produce they don’t get a check.
Welcome to reality, if you aren’t doing your job you get fired. In today’s economy people are going to have to suck it up take a job that may not be exactly what they want and start working and making money.
People are milking the unemployment system and due to that Government cannot support its infrastructure and they have to cut back on Schooling, Transportation, etc. Therefore more people are loosing their jobs and this is just propagating the situation.
The only way to fix the economy right now is to get out there start working and make money. It may not be the type of work that everyone wants to do, but the cash is just as green.
America needs to start producing and that means that we need to start working. We complain saying that Jobs are being shipped overseas and illegals have come over and taken our jobs. That’s because they’ll do the jobs that we don’t want to do, and if we are going to do them we want to bring a union in and make $77 an hour for a $12 an hour job.
There are a TON of jobs right now in Las Vegas. They may not be the career choice that you’re looking for but they pay the bills. I run a search on SimplyHired for jobs in Las Vegas and 15,315 pop-up.
A lot of Healthcare, Technical, and Sales jobs are out there. If you’re not a computer person or a nurse you may just have to smile and be a sales person for a while. You can always quit when the economy picks back up.
If you want to see this economy pick up we have to forget the socialist ideals of “spreading the wealth” and start learning the capitalist ideals of “making the wealth”. We can wait until the President starts playing Robbin Hood and taking from the rich and giving to the poor, or we can go back to what has made this country great and start working.
I would rather earn a living than be living on hand outs.
