Nobody Flashes: Don’t Read Old Magazines

Nobody Flashes

I was throwing out an old magazine today, and it had some interesting ‘fun facts’ about St. Louis. (I live in a northern suburb.)

The book was published in 1998. Here’s a copy of a list of employment facts for 1998:

St. Louis Largest Single Employers Ranked by Number of Employees:

More than 10,000:

1. Boeing co. /2. BJC Health system/ 3. Unity Health System /4. Schnucks Markets Inc./ 5. U.S. Air Force

This year, 2013, Boeing has lost half it’s employees, and the U.S. Air Force is GONE:  Schnucks market just suffered a vicious cyber attack. It’s family owned. The hospitals are still standing.

5,000-9,999 Employees

1. Washington University /2. SSM Healthcare System /3. Southwestern Bell Telephone /4. Trans World Airlines/ 5. Chrysler Corp. Assembly /6. St. Louis University/ 7. May Department Store Co./ 8. St. Louis Public Schools/ 9. NationsBank/ 10. U. S. Postal Service

Washington University used to be the leader in Medical research and science. Now, most of the courses are in Social Science. The cost is $40.000 a semester. Trans World Airlines: GONE. Southwestern Bell…not exactly Apple. Chrysler is GONE. May Department Store went bankrupt, GONE.  The U.S. Postal Service is on its way out. But the school system has grown by leaps and bounds.

2,000-4,999 Employees

1 General Motors Corp. Assembly /2. Anheuser Busch Companies Inc./ 3. Deaconess Incarnate World Health Systems./ 4. Olin Corp /5. At & T

General Motors Corp: GONE. Anheuser Bush was sold to an international buyer. Southwestern Bell…not exactly Apple.

The Olin corporation which makes ammunition is moving it’s operation to Mississippi where there is union-free work.

So after the devastation, what is left? I have watched my city die. And I’m NOT supposed to be depressed? If you are thinking of moving to St. Louis or Detroit:…don’t bother.dog begging

So, despite what Obama is telling you, the job market is gasping due to politicians. You’re life choice is slim unless you go into education or Health care or fast food.

Where do you think al the new illegal’s are going to get jobs?

  1. Illegals will be hired before others in the border states because they work for low wages. They have the advantage of near zero overhead because of assistance programs.
    The politicians will give incentives to employers to hire them reminiscent of the mid 70’s Vietnam “boat people”.

    I grew up in Texas about an hour and half from the Mexican border, In my early teen years, we had to compete with the wetbacks (non P-C term for illegals back then), The wb’s worked for $3/day so that is what we would get paid if we wanted to work through out the summer.

    Our only advantage over the wb’s was the numerous times in a year that ranchers would need day workers for round ups to mark, brand, shear, ship, dip, etc. the livestock. We were paid $7/ horse plus $8/person a day.

    • Your story, and all the other stories like yours, coming from ordinary American citizens, should be the stories we should be seeing on our morning news.   People don’t even get how downsized the American citizen has become, because the pretty woman on the news smiles and lets them know what they should be paying attention to. And it’s not the fact that YOU are being discarded for another nation’s younger and cheaper labor. Why should the elites care? Their stocks are way up because China is buying lots of cars!   Thanks for sharing your story. 🙂
