Skilled Labor Jobs On Craigslist

Trim40

Does anyone else look at the Skilled labor jobs on CL? I have been watching them for a while, and the trades seem to be hiring. Maybe things are picking up, is this a Denver only thing?
I look at the jobs because my 16 yr.old twins kepp saying"I'm looking Dad".

Yes...I've applied to several of them. There are some that sound legit, and there are others that sound like hacks trying to find hacks to work for them for $9 per hour. I am in a bit of a pickle right now because I have sent resumes out to several companies and now I am starting to get calls for my business again. I am going to look at a kitchen remodel this weekend and I have some other potential leads. If one of the companies I applied for calls me, I might have to turn them down...

Man, that can be a tough spot. Kinda forces you to make that sale!
Good luck with those leads.

I looked at a skilled labor add for NY, and they wanted a Handyman who can do it all(Electrical ,plumbing, Carpentry) with ALL the tools to do them. And they wanted you to be insured, own a truck, and be on call. Their price.....$15
Unbelievable

The scary thing is, they will have little problem filling that spot.

Have seen some of those "we want it all for $15/hr. What I am seeing is more ads looking for master plumbers, journeyman/master elec., supers and other trades.
No matter how good things get, we will always have those who still think it's 1980 something

At least it was mostly grammatical.

I have been checking out craigs list for a few years. It's the only source I know of to monitor whats going on locally and throughout the country. It's not good. Hopefully we can ride this out. For what it's worth, we're still sucking air.
