I work at a lumber yard and the owners cry about not being able to find workers but I have seen more than twenty people apply over the past two years. I'm sure there were quite a number of applicants I didn't see.

In those two years one was hired, he worked one day and didn't come back. Another was hired with the same result.

This summer two guys signed on and stayed with it.

Anyway, just having a pulse is likely a funny exaggeration.

Lumberyard workers don't much respect but it is actually challenging work with the hundreds of products, packaging loads of miscellaneous materials for safe delivery, using and basic maintenance of trucks and heavy equipment, harsh weather sometimes, etc., for relatively low pay. It's amazingly easy to damage stuff!! Vent over...
