i work in construction and i'm shocked by the job prospects. i know the main reason is because of the developers and the job agencies they are both greedy rotten bastards by keeping the job competition high they can keep the wages down. skilled people such as myself getting no better than minimum wage. well see how long it takes for them to come crawling back to the locals when the immigrants go home after they've milked the place dry. its not just scotland or britain but ireland is getting it as well. these are seriously desperate times. but there are far too many agencies its about time they were pulled into line. or shut down! its not the immigrants fault but they should be getting the standard going rate the same as the local tradesmen. foreign brickies and joiners getting minimum wage no wonder the locals are undercutting each other. an agency rep once told me they had to hire from outside as there wasnt much native skilled labour, what! in ireland? half my mates and family are all still in ireland trying to get a wage from their trades. its a friggin joke but i'm not laughingI am looking to change jobs - is anyone else shocked by how little work there is available these days!??

come to , alberta, canada...some places like restaurants etc. have to close certain hours for lack of staff, other businesses are short-handed. But the problem here is that when people want to come to work there is no housing for them, or at least affordable housing.I am looking to change jobs - is anyone else shocked by how little work there is available these days!??
