I employed about 170 people when I was facility director over the years. My long term employees were all over 35, my constant position changes were filled with 20 to 25 year olds. I often hired people who had previous records and many issues. I was always trying to give people second chances. Granted the jobs were not glorious but with hard work, overtime and event tips they could make 45 to 50 k a year with good benefits. The turnover was great and a big problem trying to get employees. After things fell apart at work prior to my layoff it got incredibly hard to find employees. The incentive wasn't there and I didn't blame anyone for not wanting to work at a place part time with no benefits at crappy 15 dollar an hour rates, but prior to that I was disappointed in the young ones.

Wow. Wonder why. Like PF said seems the work is there and he is on a wait list.

wow just looked at unemployment numbers by state and Massachusetts is dead last with a 16% rate. Why is Mass so bad compared with the rest of New England. Seems like they have the same basic economics as CT and RI. NH Maine and VT have tourism issues. Would be interesting to find out.

I know that construction is off the hook here but contractors are having trouble getting workers and supplies. Ct is doing exceptionally well outside the service industry. Governor Lamont kept manufacturing and construction open throughout the entire lockdown. A big key around here anyways

Wait take at a look at the biggest changes in %from 19, for construction and manufacturing. Seriously not those $12 hr jobs you are talking about

Sorry you hate anything American. Sad

Saw the in person polls in Mass are doing great. No reason not to vote in person at all if you are physically able.

Awful, some here were saying that once spring was over things would drastically improve. Horrible for VT

10 19 19? Check again. The world depends on US unfortunately to be oversight. Otherwise there are bad actors ready to pounce. Thats a reality many don't understand but at least we are pulling out of the thousand year tribal wars. I remain confident things will improve step by step. Obviously the world suffered a huge Covid setback and the climb out will take time. Will the USA ever be Utopia, probably not but its better than many alternatives. Much work needs to be done and it starts with jobs and equal opportunity for all.

Its definitely time for a total infrastructure overhaul. That will fill the gap with better paying jobs. Now that the military has been reinforced and we have gotten out of endless wars that extra money should be reinvested in our infrastructure. Manufacturing of all the products and labor to install . Positive things can and should happen. We all hope we can turn the corner to better brighter days.

This is totally different

Another F0 in Kent from the storm complex Tuesday. Some neat video of the tornado in Hamden around, quick glimpses

I saw a swirl go across the field in the non time lapse one but maybe my imagination

Someone needs to get that whole video from the East Haven High School turf field as it definitely shows the Tornado

nice captures

Yep, New London also had a slosh trace on water levels. Excellent report by you. Hope your dingy is ok.

@CT Rain hmm Weird observation- at about 6pm (an hour after the main storm) the water in Leete's Island Bay was surging in/out every 10-15 minutes about 12 inches (not exaggerating). Happened three distinct times, then subsequently faded.

Nice RFQ

56 K 48 in New Haven County

Ugh

Elevated thunder is the best, just long rolling rumbles last 20 minutes. Enjoying this cool constant rain for a change.

Wrong about the radar? Lol okey dokey. Stein is getting to you, fill one up,its 5 o'clock somewhere. Tornado headed for Luke's hood
