Young Americans don't have patience to do dirty jobs
Picture a chocolate factory in Grand Rapids, Michigan. Most of its workers are being supplied by agencies. One of them is Talent Tree, a Texas-based manpower agency that is successful in deploying workers to a lot of factories and assembly plants in Michigan. Applicants come from across boundaries: Latinos, Asians, and of course, Americans (black and whites), scramble to fill up applications Talent Tree provides for screening purposes. Tests are conducted before anyone is recruited and deployed for a job that starts at $9.00 per hour or much higher, depending on the vacancy that is available at the work site. However, the only frustrating is that the number of hours that one has to do heavily depends on the volume of orders that the chocolate factory gets so that the eight-hour work limit is not followed. Sometimes, one has to work only less than eight hours on a given day per week. Just imagine how much one can get during pay day if he has worked for less than 40 hours on a given week...
