You know it would be a wanton waste of money if the federal government once again extended unemployment benefits for what are now becoming the hard core unemployed. It just encourages them to be lazy and live off their unemployment benefits instead of looking for jobs. [sarcasm]
Well just last month Costco opened their Wisconsin location in Pewaukee and created 190 new jobs. Now 50 of those jobs were already filled (I am assuming by Costco employees transferred in to get the place rolling). But according the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel, 140 new hires came from our area…140 new hires…selected for 4,000 applicants!
Two things to take away from this…the unemployed in Wisconsin still retain their work ethic and are willing to work if given the opportunity…and if 4,000 people are applying for 140 retail jobs…that laser focus on jobs in Madison is NOT working!
