Everywhere I go in Texas, oil and gas fields all have signs saying "Drivers Wanted." They can't find people with a CDL. Lots full of oil and gas tankers.And you assume that jobs are infinite/these "work requirements" actually do something useful.Mommy, I'm hungry.
Tough shit kid. I ain't gettin' no job!
If you bothered to read the article, the program only applies to abled bodied adults with no children.
Well let me tell you, I'm a truck driver and this year alone, we need over 60,000 new drivers that industry can't find. When I go to industrial areas, I see countless sign after sign on companies that are looking for help. Go back three weeks later, the signs are still posted.
So the question is are these programs there for the truly indigent, or are people using them as an option to working?
Many of the trucking companies will offer driver training if you agree to work for them when you get out of training. Some of the driver training schools only last a few weeks. It's really a great deal for someone wanting a job that pays good money and usually offers pretty good benefits as well.
