True,$9.00/hr is not a bad wage for this area. I think the point Century girl was making is why publish that you are paying $12 when you are only paying $9? That *is* misleading.
I might add that I took the test almost a year ago,made a perfect score,and did not hear from anyone until about 3 weeks ago. Since then,I have received two calls on my answering machine giving me 30 minutes to respond if I wanted a job. That’s correct….30 minutes. I suspect you have to be related to someone to get the $12 salary and maybe just 5 or 6 hours to respond. i mean,at least give people time to get home from the unemployment office.
I’d have to say that for those who are unemployed, any job around here making $9.00 an hour is better than nothing. My husband and I consider ourselves highly blessed to even have jobs right now, but if we didn’t, we’d jump at the chance for a $9/hour job even if it was just for 15 hours a week.
This is misleading! Folks that I know have been hired.. It’s $9.00 per hour snd about 15 hrs per week! Imagine The Gov misleading anyone! You know the point is don’t “Bait n Switch” … Just be honest!
