    Still plenty of jobs in Atlanta but more of them are lower paying jobs. Back in 2000 you could make $8/hour at Taco Bell because labor was scarce. From a macro perspective one of the results of the recession has been to fill many of those jobs that needed filling as well as keep down inflation... doesn't make for happy job seekers though.

    Companies up here just keep hiring back the retired workers for even more $$$.

    So the young people don't get a chance to work at all....

    Well thier when you get a shovel full of rock and dirt and toss it - it leaves the shovel , this clay cr*p just stays there and you have to scrap it off .
    one good thing tho when it dries
    its like cement , saves buying bags of cement .
