ANY job is harder to come by these days. Low paying and unskilled (not necessarily the same) jobs are also harder to come by.

I am actually quite curious.

How hard is it to get low paying/unskilled jobs? I am at school and the future looks grim. 🙁

You're right to be concerned. Whatever your long term goals are, I recommend attending a trade school first.

Check out Devry, Strayer, or University of Phoenix.

Trade schools that teach an actual trade whether it be mechanics, building, plumbing, welding, electrical, sheet metal/duct work, refrigeration, HVAC etc. Devry, Strayer and Univ of Phoenix all cost big bucks for a questionable return. A two year program at a local community college or tech school is a better value.

Remember, attending a trade school doesn't mean you can't go to college later. It just means you can earn decent money in the mean time. A trade school can get you a decent job right after graduation, a university degree, not so much.

Believe it or not, yes. Tons of no or low to moderate skill level jobs got wiped out because of the recession. Those types of workers are being pushed into crap jobs as a result.

I recently moved back from the warehouse to stores for my chain. To put it into [anecdotal] perspective I used to go through about 30-50 apps per job before the economy tanked. Now I have to sift through at least a hundred.

It may be because you cannot spell. Try getting a MW job that provides anything close to a "living" wage. I know others whose hours change by the week. How can you live when one week you get 30 hours .... while you get 10 hours the next?
