First of all, Happy Belated Mother's Day to all that applies to. Next, here is the link to this week's North Coast Hot Jobs, http://www.scribd.com/doc/223418135/North-Coast-Hot-Jobs-May-12-2014. The reason why the jobs listing is posted on scribd, is because it is free. In addition, this blogsite, also free, does not have the capacity to post downloadable documents. So, I have to combine the use of two free services.
Seattle continues to move forward with it's plan to increase the minimum wage there to $15 per hour for all workers. This will take place over the course of three or seven years. More info here, http://blog.seattlepi.com/seattlepolitics/2014/05/01/murray-unveils-15-minimum-wage-plan-historic-moment-for-seattle/#22762101=0/. With the unemployment rate sitting at a very low 5.2% in King County, it is understandable that this is happening. When unemployment rates begin to get low, the available labor in the area gets shallower and employers become concerned about keeping their current employers as well as looking for more employers from other areas. As a result, pay goes up. If Seattle didn't take steps to attract employees, then employers might decide to move their businesses in areas where there is a larger available labor force. However, other businesses might move because the minimum wage is going up there. So, all this activity is happening because we are in the process of leaving an employer's market and entering an employee's market. At least in certain locations anyways. Not in Jefferson and Clallam counties.
We are having a surge of available state jobs in the area. Seven new state jobs have been added to the North Coast Hot Jobs listing. At this moment, there are twenty state jobs open in Clallam and Jefferson counties.
Have a good one.
This job listing is compiled for free, usually by every Monday, as a public service. Bookmark or Facebook share this site and pass it on to others if you wish.

North Coast Hot Jobs Apr 28
Hello job seekers. We are approaching the end of April. For some of you landscapers, April is the growing season and May is when the real work starts. April showers bring May flowers? :-) Anyways, here is the link to this week's North Coast Hot Jobs listing, http://www.scribd.com/doc/220571313/North-Coast-Hot-Jobs-Apr-28-2014
The Post Office continues to post job openings. They have two this week. As I have stated before, they have an issue with the second part of their application process here. They want you to go to the I-5 corridor to take an exam. This exam takes about 4 - 6 hours. It is a group exam with separate components. Yes, I have taken this exam before. Between 7 to 10 years ago, the Post Office had a one-time deal where they had the exam in some large building in Sequim. There was a significant amount of applicants from here taking the test. Anyways, maybe someone should suggest to the Post Office that they do this again. This would supply them with a pool of applicants to draw upon when the need arises to hire someone. The Vern Burton center in Port Angeles could be a good location for this event, mainly because it is a center point between Port Townsend/Port Hadlock areas and the Pacific coast communities. Presently, it might be considered too much of a gamble for someone to spend about $100 bucks or more to go take this exam, possibly lose a day at work for a job that may not pan out.
Veterans Stand Down out at Forks on the 1st of May. Transportation is available. Contact WorkSource for more information.
That's all for this week. Have a good one.

North Coast Hot Jobs Apr. 14, 2014
Hello Job Seekers and welcome to Monday. First off, here is the link to this week's North Coast Hot Jobs listing, http://www.scribd.com/doc/217960903/North-Coast-Hot-Jobs-Apr-14-2014
February's unemployment rates in this state have been posted. Clallam County is at 9.8% and Jefferson County is at 9.4%. In addition, Island County is at 8.3% and Kitsap County is at 7.1%. The best place to get work is along the I-5 corridor. For example, Snohomish County is at 6.0% and King County is at 5.2%.
There continues to be jobs listed for the Post Office in this region. However, the second part of the job application process takes place down the I-5 corridor. So, if you wish to apply for a Post Office job, then be prepared to dish out at least $100 bucks for gas, ferry and meals. This seems like quite an investment for a job that you may not even be considered for.
If you are a person with an education and/or experience in social work, the state has three openings in that field. Two in Port Townsend and a more advanced job opening in Port Angeles.
The Port Townsend paper mill has openings for Entry Level Extra Boards. This could be a good opportunity. Pay is $14.53/hour at first, then rises to $16.42/hour after the 60 day probation period.
I separated the medical/retirement listings.
That's all I have this week. Have a good one and good luck in the job hunting.
