Two workers donned Fred Flintstone and Scooby Doo costumes to entertain workers at a company appreciation event. Workers have been hired by hospital laundries, the California State Fair, waste recycling companies, contractors, landscapers, newspapers, department stores, assembly plants, restaurants and hotels. Our response is very quick. About a quarter of the jobs are long-term assignments. The rest are short term, usually one or two days.
Some workers are new in town.
Some are in between jobs. Others are looking for a second income. Welfare reform has helped boost the pool of workers. Some people come in from out of town. They don't know where to go.
