End of school year injects job seekers

With college and high school done for the summer,thousands of young men are seeking entry level and unskilled laborer jobs.With construction at a standstill,the pressure on skilled tradesmen and journeymen will increase.Job security in the construction industry is shaky.In past years,new home building was so robust as to absorb summer help.This is what used to the busy building season.New housing starts are anemic.Hiring is spotty,at best.The laws of supply and demand dictate that with the present glut of available workers,the positions that can be filled will pay less.Those with a job will be expected to do more work for a pay scale that will certainly have a downward pressure on it.Searching the Internet is a way to find a way to earn until construction slump eases.
