Quote:In the latest sign of weakness in Louisville-area employment, about 10,000 people applied over three days for 90 jobs building washing machines at General Electric for about $27,000 per year and hefty benefits. Just four years ago, the same jobs paid $19 per hour [$40,000/year]. But that was before Local 761 approved wage cuts for new workers aimed at preventing the closure of Appliance Park. www.courier-journal.com/article/20091008/NEWS01/910080326/GE%2B%2B10%2B000%2Bapplications%2Bfor%2B90%2Bfactory%2Bjobs
