Hello job seekers,

So, I suppose the big news this past week is that Westport Shipyard was purchased by an investor based in Louisiana. More news on that at this link, http://www.peninsuladailynews.com/article/20140607/NEWS/306079966/westport-shipyard-sold-to-louisiana-investor-port-angeles-plant-to. So, possibly as a result, Westport has begun hiring again in this area. New jobs are listed from there at this link, http://www.westportyachts.com/careers The laminator jobs listed in the North Coast Hot Jobs listing as being in Port Angeles is wrong. Those two jobs are in Westport.
There's a problem right now at the Safeway Careers site, http://www.careersatsafeway.com/. It appears that all jobs that can be had for the Safeways on the north coast area are posted. For example, the Safeways in Port Angeles show 25 job openings, which I am sure is not true.
That's all for this week. Have a good one.

So here are some more thoughts on the phased in raising of the minimum wage in Seattle. It's possible this could have an effect on the cost of living. As a result of paying more for employees, products or services could cost more to compensate. This could create a mini-inflation of sorts in that area. This could encourage consumers to shop elsewhere outside of the Seattle area to get less expensive product or services.
Another effect could be realized by some individuals that currently make a couple of dollars or so over the minimum wage. For example, if someone currently makes $12 or $13 per hour, which is over the current minimum wage of $9.32/hr. then they could argue that they should be continue to get a couple of dollars or so over the minimum wage. As a result, someone who makes $12 currently, could demand that they receive $17 in the future. This could have a domino effect on other wage levels as well.
Washington state has four new jobs in the area and the federal government has added two this week. The hospital in Port Angeles has added six jobs. Out west the Quileute tribe as posted at least 19 jobs in 7 categories.
That's all for now. Have a good one.
