Re: Bad Salary Omens

[Rick Stone <rstone75 -at- kc -dot- rr -dot- com>]

And in today's climate, $14 - $19 per hour is 14 to 19 times better than 
$0 per hour if you are unemployed and looking!

I'd be surprised if they were unable to fill the position. Even with 
what seems to be a low pay point.

Cheers... Rick :)
