RE: Seattle Job Opening

H* A*

Nancy:

I don't know what the current job market is like in the Seattle area, but I
think it is probably even tighter  than here in NYC. They're paying US
census takers  16-20 dollars an hour here. You can get a literate gardener
for $13.04 part-time plus benefits?

Good luck to you in filling this job.
