    Our regional paper had ONE ad yesterday..in the help wanted section.

    Learn To Drive a Big Truck, and drive for..... Werner.

    But we have lots of jobs. If you're willing to do the dirty work of applying.

    The typical Tuesday paper is thin, maybe 4 or 5 sections with 6-10 pages each. There weren't 20 pages in the entire paper yesterday.

    I think they've found the "slow economy" they've been looking for so long.

    Hey...those jobs pay pretty good around here. Ranging from $14 an hour to $18 an hour.

    But man the hours suck.
