Not sure what this says. . .

After the close of "the bell" of the stock market, Labor Ready announced a quarterly profits increase of 56 percent. I think that what this says is, there are jobs out there, but we ain't giving them to anyone who could actually support a family with the pay. The linked article notes that Labor Ready "supplies workers for retailers, hotels and small manufacturers". These are exactly the people that need to be organized and they are almost completely out of the reach of both the unions and the legal system that could protect them.
