Disgusting!

Today I went to the Labor and Employment Office. Had my unemployment insurance card stamped and brushed on some job vacancies. As my kanji is limited, I just size up the vacancies accdg to place, the going rate, duration and nature of work. I chose one and shown it to the counter lady and she told me that the position is for the physically challenged only. I looked long and hard at the going rate which is ¥200,000. Why for all intent and care, a healthy individual's rate is ¥20,000 to ¥30,000 lesser? Disgusting isn't it? I wasn't allowed to be introduced to that position. Surely there must be someone who needs it more than I. Besides, I do enjoy being jobless at the moment!!grin

Don't rightly understand what you're saying Tats (sorry) ... confused dunno

but in Ireland at your age ( not that I think you're too old to work) people wouldn't get as far as an interview let alone an option to refuse a job.

Anyways, you enjoy your relaxing none working days wine

Strange indeed tatani, it makes no sense..........
I would like to compliment you on your command of the English language thumbs up
So healthy people get paid less? That is somewhat interesting if that is the case. One would suspect maybe the other way around...based on productivity supposedly hire for healthier people. Maybe at worse, equal pay. dunno
*higher
One whom wants to use exercise to do a job has my blessings teddybear
Pity others didn't help you frustrated
Don't let them stop you Miss Tat teddybear
My wishes hope you find paid time during life : teddybear
@Johnny, it really seems like it. I had talked to a young man who seemed to be mentally challenged as can be attested of his showing an ID to the bus driver and that means he doesn't have to pay the fare. It's one of the services of the govt. I asked what was his work and how much was his rate. Just surprise to hear that he's receiving ¥1,500/hr while during that time I was given only ¥800/hr. Though of course the nature of job could be different as the companies were different too. The reason could be compassion not sure though. How about in your country?
@daers, thanks for your ultra rare visit.
