Jim, we had a telemarket place near here. I know some of the people who worked there. They were getting 1 and 1/2 what the box stores were paying to start plus bonuses and decent bennies. I remember the ads. x amount starting, sign on bonus, 1st raise at the end of training and then again at 90 days. In 98/99 they were making about 2X minimum wage starting. For an unskilled job that was pretty decent wages. The place held on to right after 9/11 by doing follow up calls for an insurance company. A community of about 14,000 lost about 300 jobs when the call center closed. A young guy who is a friend of my son lost a full time gig that was paying 17 an hour plus bennies and bonuses when they locked the doors in 02.
JD no I didn't like all the calls and it was getting to the point of being stupid but knowing people who were devastated by the lost wages puts things in a different light.
