Obama shouldn't have to solve your problems, and neither should the government. Laziness never pays off.

I make more money on unemployment then I'll ever make in any department store, but I am tired of having to wait on Obama to sign new bills for unemployment. The laps time can be a month or more before the unemployment starts again. I'm going to apply and hope I get a position. Looking for work is alot harder then actualy working. Of course, I have applied for and had interviews for various jobs, but alas, I'm still not working.

Lets just say this, in a time when jobs are at a premium, sometimes one must take what is out there. Sure you may not make a million dollars here but something is better than nothing. Outsourcing seems to be the thing now and being promoted from within in almost a thing of the past in most retail stores, makes more sense but just dosen't happen. As Lara said, there will be hundreds of people applying for these jobs and good for them. I bet if we all look back to when we were younger, minimum wage dosen't look so bad now. I for one am glad to see this city willing to bring in companies that want to expand and have these jobs to offer. Good for Kohls's and all others who have taken the chance on the Springs.
