> If they're still having trouble filling that, is it because making $37k a year in Texas isn't good enough for a no-education, no-experience job? It's most likely because somebody in the area is paying more and/or offering a better job. Is it really $37k, or is it an $18/hr job? That is, are they offering $18/hr for 40 guaranteed hours a week for 52 weeks, or is it just a few hours a day during the dinner rush (unless they send me home early because of a light evening)? Can they tell me today what hours I will be working 2 weeks from now, or do they usually disclose the schedule a day or two in advance? Are there any benefits? In other words, is it a typical restaurant job? I personally would prefer (say) $16/hr with a guaranteed 40 hours and predictable schedule to a typical restaurant job. Now that big employers like Target, Amazon, etc. are in the $16 range, they may offer jobs that pay a lower hourly rate but are more compelling overall. (The Amazon warehouse in Fort Worth is paying nearly $18 and they have nonzero benefits and are unlikely to run out of hours.)
