Seems the jobs Americans just wont do are jobs already held...By our politicians!! It would be really nice to see them just do their job.

Because the students who come to the USA in the summer to work do nothing but sleep around and drink. And since there are more students than jobs avalible, the ones who don't find jobs work as prositutes. My husband and I own 3 stores in a beach town and all of the Russians who come for jobs are sneaky.  Iwas friends with one Russian girl, Sveta, and she came to work everyday like she was sick and  Iwas worried about her. I thought it was she was home sick. I made her soup and tried to make some Russian food for her to make her less home sick, but I found out she was going to the bar everynight and she was just hung over. I felt stupid. And she also tried to sleep with my husband.

I have no weekend. I'm off when I'm off - no set schedule.\n\nI get up around 11 am to noon, and I go to bed around 4 or 5. On work days, I get up, eat, shower, check my email, get ready for work. Then, I navigate traffic amongst freakin insane drivers that seem to have a death wish on my way to work. I work until about 10 or 11, get something to eat or come home and cook. Sometimes, I'll play pool with friends or rent a movie with friends. If not, I play around on the computer, do some reading, or take a walk.\n\nOn my days off, I run my errands, clean the house, do the laundry, watch TV, play around on the computer, read, go to the beach, go to the woods, walk, swim, shop, call family and friends - whatever I need to do first and whatever I want to do after that. I'm not really into planning my free time to the last minute.

Well - gosh - I see so many "Americans" lining up to clean, cook and do yard work.  These so called jobs being taken away from Americans (ha,ha) are given to immigrants bcuz they will do them for next to nothing in pay and if YOU were to do any of these jobs you would want $50 an hour with benefits and vacations and sick time and a say in what you do and a title for your job and pay raises etc, etc. You get the drift ???????

His statement expressed a common misconception.  Americans spent years doing jobs like fruit picking and washing dishes.  It is not that Americans are unwilling to do the work, but that Americans are unwilling to do the work for the wages being offered.  Americans want to make minimum wage and to have workers comp if they get hurt. \n\nThe reason is that those jobs commonly filled by illegals pay less than minimum wage, but still more than they would make in their own country.  The employers get away with this because illegal workers don't complain about employer violations for fear of being deported.

Because that's what makes the weekend so sweet.Tuesday,Wednesday,Thursday,and even Friday also suck,it's just the closer you get to the weekend,the less it sucks,and since the dreaded Monday is farthest from the next weekend,it sucks the most.A matter of perspective.

Well that ford thing is close to the answewr. It did start in Detroit. But for a Very strange reason. Before any simple term like having a 40 hour wek was around. during the early 1900's people started to run out of work. Due to the large flow of people coming to America. They typically worked for 16 hours a day. 6 days a week. A Factory owner noticed if a person had a short day at work he still managed to produce all most as much as he would have any way. It occured to the owners that they could create a round the clock work ethic well giving the workers less hours to work in a day. They asked the workers if you give up a few hours of your job your friends will be able to have a Job as well. And 24 hours just simply will make thre shifts. the factory organazation kneww they would be more productive and at the same time promoted themselves as being community minded and helping the people out of work.

American's are bombarded with so much information that they forget their manners and behaviors and resort to quick fixes. Adding a family into the mix makes things even more difficult. Technology, while it has provided Americans with plenty of luxuries, has also turned many into a 'work shy' nation.

I won't, because I'm off work today!  And the business where I work won't be, because we have only those legally here, and citizens of this country as workers.  We also have customers who are citizens, because the price of our product is on a higher scale than other restaurants, and usually only the upper middle class eat where I work. As for impacting businesses today...I left work at 11:30 pm last night...went to WalMart to get a few things so I wouldn't have to go shopping on my offdays...and lo and behold...the place was PACKED with people (of other races) on a buying frenzy!  HMMMM....seems to me they just ruined today's boycott by buying the night before!  Now...you tell ME...how stupid is that? Given that most did that, or at least stocked up this past weekend so they won't have to shop today or tomorrow...they still gave the profit to the American businesses beforehand, making this weekend more profitable for the businesses than any normal Monday when most people don't do as much!  True?....

why would they care they get everything else free! havent Americans sat down and did a little look at ur own pay checks here. ex. a person making 15.00 buck a hr. at 40 hrs a week. equals $600 gross. u would bring home about low 400's to mid 400's if ur lucky depending on what u have to take out. that means really u only make about a little over 10 bucks a hr. if that and some pay checks are less then 400 after everything is taking out. so illegal making 5 bucks hr equals 200. and nothing comes out so that there whole check. so think about this here. they really have more money then Americans do so why would they care if they get paid low wages. there making a kill-in. they get everything else handed to them by us wonderful tax payers.

Are they....I dunno...what I do know is that do the job "Americans" wont and get paid pennies for it.  Plus employers take advantage of them and don't offer any type of medical or dental or anything.  Most of them work 10 times harder than any American in the US.  I don't think its right they don't pay taxes. It's unfair for us to assume they all want to be here without paying their dues, some do want to but can't.  I dunno, I can go either way on the subject but all I can say is that every American at some point in time was an illegal...heck...didn't we steal this country anyway?
