Work Hard!

I was reading an article on Yahoo not to long ago that the new deadliest job in America is repair cell phone tower workers. I read that the fatality rate is currently 184 deaths per 100,000 workers. Most of the deaths are caused from workers not wearing their safety gear, what? I can tell you this, if I’m 300 hundred feet in the air I’m wearing every piece of safety gear I can. I’m not going up without a good pair of Lowa Boots – REACH , I’m wearing my boots. Now I understand that their being pushed to work faster, but that’s a human life, get hooked up man. I would consider on finding another job or maybe tell my boss to go up there with no safety gear on. I would never put my family in those shoes. Whoever is doing this job should always know, the money isn’t worth dying for, put your gear on and make sure you go home at night.

Unemployment Up!

Here we go again with more and more jobs being cut. The last few weeks it had been bad for the U.S. work force. The people laid off or terminated seeking unemployment benefits jumped last week, stated the government. The Labor Department reported new applications for unemployment was up once again. This is way up compared to last weeks numbers, even over the last year. I read somewhere that they think this is a good thing because the private jobs were up. This rise was not expected, matter of fact people thought unemployment was going to go down. Sounds like I need to get my medical resume updated because those are the only jobs out there right now. I don’t care what anyone else is saying, things are not getting better.
