Go Mike!

Saint Louis must be immune to this phenomena... it's really hard to get ANY kind of union job here. I've got a friend who's a master electrician (younger then I) and he often drives 2 HOURS to get to a job... and he often goes to a 10 hr. day job that's HUNDREDS of miles away to stay there for the whole work week. This isn't because there's so much of this work that can't be filled... it's because it's either that... or collecting unemployment.

I've been trying to get on at the IBEW for over 3 years now. I guess I need to move to Alabama.

I have always liked Mike Rowe... he's a kick-ass dude, that's for sure... but I'm baffled to hear that there are 450,000 good jobs that can't be filled because there's nobody to fill them? That isn't the situation around here.
