Jobs Go Begging

A reader and small business owner comments:

"In my area it is very difficult to find employees that want to work. "

Which of course is at the heart of the economic crisis we are facing.

From the "something for nothing" Wall Street workers, to the TSA gate-gropers, and countless others merely placeholding, in every area it is very difficult to find employees that want to work. The work that requires one to draw on resources and intelligence, to struggle with right and wrong in a given situation, to take care of yourself so you are able to work, to balance that list of pros and cons and to-do's... ultimately to serve others as best you can, too few know anything about all of that. A job, a paycheck, end of story. Of course a solution has been to hire Mexicans, among whom it is easy to find employees that want to work. If and when that becomes illegal, will USA workers naturally, magically take to agriculture, construction and service work, and fill in the void?
