CONSTRUCTION-TARD ALERT: Housing starts up 16.9%...Highest in 13 Years... WINNING ! | |
Anonymous Coward User ID: 76923886 United States 01/17/2020 12:21 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Yes yes it's great but who the fuck is going to work for $16/hr building houses? Quoting: Lumberghini The area I'm in the contractors could get contracted to build 25 houses in a year and maybe end up finding enough skilled workers to show up every day for $16/hr ($20 tops for experienced framers) in the dead of winter to build rich people their houses...to build maybe 5 houses LOL. How many here would work for $16/hr BUILDING HOUSES with no benefits in the dead of winter while an angry construction boss breaths down your throat? Honestly I would take a construction job that pays 16$/ hr in a heartbeat.. Yet no construction companies are hiring.. honestly nobody is hiring.. I can barely get work through a temp agency.. hundreds of applications since November, as well as walking to sites and shaking hands and trying to get general labor.. I've passed out business cards to clean new construction homes... rent for apartments is 1500$/month average.. It's shit out there if you are looking for work.. Besides this fake winning BS. Do you have any experience? Why don't you make them an offer they cannot refuse. If i was desperate , I would offer to work for min wage to start or work 1 day for free, to prove my worth. Obviously if you can't do this, then you probably not worth their time anyway. no construction jobs are taking anyone on who has no experience this is fact even if you offer to work for free they don't want to train anyone in fact any skilled labor job is basically impossible to get into with no experience companies are not training anymore Well first of all, I would start with picking a trade. Plumbing, Electrician etc.. grab a shovel and tell them you are ready to start digging trenches for them. Get your foot in the door, work hard and you will land a spot, so they will train you. Before all that, clean and Ironed clothing, no tattoos, clean shaven etc.. I would also, go down to the local Union Hall and apply for an apprenticeship. |

I wouldn't say dead, if you can tolerate countless hours of low IQ illegal aliens. I don't wish that on anyone. I know 2 "white" guys, that having a painting/drywall business, they do the work themselves and never hire illegals and are constantly busy. You can generalize anything, but there are always exceptions. In my area, if you are a "white" guy, you will most likely get laughed off the jobsite, if you come looking for general labor work. Just be smart in what you are looking for, first they will just suspect you are on drugs or some serious loser. |

(OP) Forum Moderator User ID: 76014573 United States 01/17/2020 01:09 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Hey OP, did you know that the volume of empty houses and retail establishments is at an all time high? Quoting: Anonymous Coward 75866826 Did you know the 1% are using these properties as money laundering and tax schemes? Not winning. [link to www.revealnews.org (secure)] America’s cities are being bought up, bit by bit, by anonymous shell companies using piles of cash. Modest single-family homes, owned for generations by families, now are held by corporate vehicles with names that appear to be little more than jumbles of letters and punctuation – such as SC-TUSCA LLC, CNS1975 LLC – registered to law offices and post office boxes miles away. New glittering towers filled with owned but empty condos look down over our cities, as residents below struggle to find any available housing. All-cash transactions have come to account for a quarter of all residential real estate purchases, “totaling hundreds of billions of dollars nationwide,” the Financial Crimes Enforcement Network – the financial crimes unit of the federal Treasury Department, also known as FinCEN – noted in a 2017 news release. Thanks to the Bank Secrecy Act, a 1970 anti-money-laundering law, the agency is able to learn who owns many of these properties. In high-cost cities such as New York, San Francisco, Los Angeles and Miami, it’s flagged over 30% of cash purchases as suspicious transactions. But FinCEN also cites this bill to hide this information from the public, leaving the American people increasingly in the dark about who owns their cities. For journalists, it requires undertaking a tremendous investigative effort to find the real owner of even one property, let alone millions. “It reminds me of Moldova after the fall of the Soviet Union: oligarchs running wild, stashing their gains in buildings,” James Wright, an attorney and former Treasury Department bank examiner, told me. He now helps foreign governments combat money laundering. “Back then, you’d walk down the street, and people would say, ‘That building is a washing machine.’ Everyone knew it. Today, America is not that different.” Hey, AC 826, Did you know that those of us in construction got KILLED in the Obama years? Did you know that Construction represents a whopping 13% of the US Economy? This rise in construction damn sure is WINNING!!! they are building houses no one can buy these houses will sit empty just like the thousands of new cars that sit in lots for years and no one can afford Maybe if you live in Detroit or somewhere similar, although I doubt that is where the building is going on. Contractors and developers aren't retards. We contract or spec depending on the market, but we don't build to create empty inventory. ( We're not building Teslas) All the houses around here sell before they are finished. Sorry you live in a bad area.

So there might be some legalities, that you are missing. That depends on each state, but besides that, these things can be worked out. I say enough talk, somebody who doesn't have a job, would you please go out today and start knocking on doors, construction offices, your local Union hall and tell us what you find. If you go to a job site, ask them where you can apply for a job, don't go asking for work, like some drug addict. Maybe look for a 1 man Mom and Pop Shop, they can always use help from time to time. Its just about getting your foot in the door. Tell them you can work part time flexible, there is no pressure on them. Honestly Ive had my own business for over 20 years and before that, I have never really applied for any job. I can only base my opinion on people coming to me, looking for a job. |

Liberal or conservative, leftwing or rightwing, I'll admit that's not a good approach when it comes to one aspect of the President's philosophy. Overly low interest rates are the flip side of the negative impact of overly high interest rates. . Of course, you guys know the President has virtually Zero influence on what the Private Money Cabal called the Federal Reserve does about interest rates. His policies are taking advantage of the Fed's manipulations, and I think the Fed's are surprised and a bit frustrated. They planned a big carsh by now. :magacat: |
