    One Of The Only Good Things About A Bad Economy

    Last night I placed an ad online, looking for graphic experts.

    The details of the job are irrelevant, but regardless, I offered $10 p/hour.

    A few years ago this work would have been $25 to $50 p/hour, easily.

    This morning there were over 30 responses in my inbox, and the replies just keep coming!

    My only regret is that I didn't offer $8 p/hour instead.

    Maybe soon we WILL be able to compete with China, as long as our pay rates keep on dropping and dropping!

      Surprisingly, none so far!

      It was a local ad, specifically requiring local people to work out of a local office.

      I am shocked as well!
