Reply to comment by Walmart_Prices in Question about unemployment by Ok_Sorbet9577

Yes unfortunately we are looking. He had been with the company 8 years and had loyalty that why we have hung on. Unfortunately oil season is almost closing so he won’t be able to find a new one till the fall. Unfortunately until he finds a job making over $30 to support us then we have to put up with the environment. I would love for him to tell them to go screw cuz he is an awesome employee and anyone would be lucky to have him. But we have kids that need to eat so something is better then nothing. I know you may see jobs offering $25 for oil but it’s usually temp work and $25 is after mandatory overtime. You see a lot in the trucking business they will put pay up to $40+. When you inquire about these jobs that pay is “if” there is overtime and “if” it’s a state paid job or regular job. Employers are sneaky about wording on pay

We’ll best of luck I know it’s tough when already adjusted to a certain income. But yes I’m aware of the sneaky wording they often use to make the job more attractive. But I have seen a lot guessing he has a cdl and if he does he should be good it’s a high demand in this area

Thank you for taking the time to help. Yes he does have a cdl. I’ll have him start looking more at trucking jobs.
