Why did several thousand people line up in Times Square yesterday for only 65 full-time jobs? Paying a "princely" $10.75? Which by my calculations gives someone an annual salary of a bit over $20,000 (if the job was truly full-time. Although the New York Times account of the line-up says that the jobs offereed "medical benefits" it's not at all clear what the scope of the benefits was...and, call me cynical, but I'd bet they were pretty skimpy.
Here's the whole story.
