Full-time job? You will be lucky to get one of those in blue shithole states. As it stands, that is only reserved for the peons that served maybe a decade of their time on part-time labor to those who already have a degree.

I know of too many people that have at least 3 jobs just to barely get by. The crazy policies that the communist leadership have made acquiring a full time job significantly harder. Clearly this was by design.

I am in the Soviet State of PA. Been a temp at a major company for 3.5 years with no sign of getting hired. No temps get hired, ever. We make up about 40% of the company's workforce. No sick days. No vacation. No 401k. No future. There are 2 other biotech companies in my area, and they only hire temps too. There are no permanent jobs.

That sounds like Hewlett Packard. Over 40% are contractors with no benefits and shit pay. They won't even let contractors use the Hewlett Packard facilities like the employee gym.

If the temp workers are given the same access to benefits as a FTE, there are potential legal ramifications. They will try to argue that they are a regular employee if they have the same access. I heard this once when we couldn't let a contract worker even go to lunch with us (not HP).
