40,000 Nova Scotians out of Work!

According to a spokesperson on the radio there are 40,000 Nova Scotians looking for jobs in this province. The talking head went on to say that something needs to be done to create more jobs in this province. Of course what this person fails to understand is there are jobs out there. According to many business owners I know it is difficult to find a good worker much of the time. The good ones are already working it appears.  Most jobs don't come with an office with a view, private parking, and a secretary until you have shown you are worth the perks and pay.

I want to point out two things - if you cannot find a job create one - by say starting a small business. No one owes you a living so quit making excuses. Second point - I tried to hire students recently for a three day event - how many takers were there? Not enough - because they were busy enjoying the long weekend. It seems that it is easier to ask mom and dad for money then to put in a bit of effort.

The fact is there are jobs out there - try picking apples - the pay is good if you are any good. Of course the 40k unemployed wouldn't think of doing this would they.
