The list, of course, is the "jobs Americans do not want", which I referenced last December 18th in this blog entry.
Add to that the poor singled out souls who work for Liberty Tax Assistance. Obviously, these type places do most of their business between now & April 15th, so they will bulk up on the advertising. Included in their outdoor "display" is a person who walks around outside dressed in a Lady Liberty costume, waving at passing cars.
First, I wonder if that person will still be out there in the waning days of March & April. If they get booming business, shouldn't this person be inside? Secondly, as I referenced December 18th, don't we have other ways of advertising business, a.k.a. signs outside the business, placed on a wooden frame?
We're expecting another round of possibly brutal weather to hit the area hard by Wednesday. Will these people have to brave the elements? Consider also that these costumes are sized for a normally-dressed person, not on a person wearing two layers of thermals, two winter coats, three shirts, multiple pants, boots, etc.
There's a time and a place for everything, even if "living person advertising" is an absolute necessity. But please, let's allow the sake of reason to eminate here. Getting paid $8.50 per hour to advertise in Alaskan conditions would hardly be resume-worthy.
I wonder where this position ranked with the President.
