Thanks eagle!





I would point out two things from the perspective of exotic dancers. The first is that, in well over 1/2 of the companies that are 'aggressively' hiring, the types of US jobs being offered don't pay enough to allow new employees to afford lap dances !!! Additionally, the majority of the 'low end' retailer jobs being added are essentially permanent replacements for 'mid-range' retailer jobs that have already been lost ( and that formerly provided higher income levels based on higher pricing of the products formerly being sold ) as some portion of US consumers have permanently shifted their shopping habits from 'mid-range' to 'low end' retailers.
The second point is that, in the remaining cases, the new US jobs being offered are based on 'speculation' that new US gov't policies re mandatory health care, mandatory broadband internet, etc. will actually take place over a number of future years. This may or may not come to pass. As a result, it is probable that these new employees will be very 'careful' in spending their new paychecks since they could cease to exist after november 2010.
In either case, there isn't much here on a positive note for dancers.

Thanks for that. I've got friends and relatives looking for work.





I think some dancers would benefit from working with some of these companies-quite a few dancers are struggling right now, and having another job would be useful. Even if the jobs are not around later on in life, it wouldn't hurt to try.
FYI, Colorado Springs just opened a new CostCo. And I know for a fact Verizon and BestBuy were both hiring not long ago here-an ex-friend of mine was looking for work there, but her hours were not compatible with what the company needed/wanted.
And any added income to people who are not dancers but customers could potentially lead to lap dances!![]()

I saw this and I'm sitting on the fence as to what to do. get a "regular" low paying job or try to go back to stripping ( been out a year).
I feel like an idiot squirrel trying to cross a 4 lane highway. Should I stay or should I go now?
Not to mention I moved so I don't know any of the clubs where I'm at.





Have you considered doing both? Some dancers also have day jobs.
Yeah. I don't know how they do it. I want to be able to work when I'm at work and sleep when it's time to get 8 hours sleep. Not sure why I'd want to kill myself if I don't have to.
But I have considered working a reg job and stripping on a day or two of the days off.
I really give credit to people who go to school and work.
Sorry. I think I'm a little depressed.





That's what I meant. Working at a regular job and dancing one or two nights a week for some extra money. I agree doing both full time is too much.
Sorry you're feeling depressed. Hope you feel better.




Hope you feel better soon, too, Mare! Go watch a silly movie or look at youtube animal videos!
For work: Dance at a low pressure club a few times a month in your new town while you explore part time jobs or even one-off 'gigs' (editing, event staff, club promos in night clubs) and go from there. One foot in front of the other. Baby steps!

Lots of "blue-collar" guys working at places like Costco can afford dances. They may not be the guys in the NYC champagne rooms, but most of the US isn't like that. Mel, have you forgotten already, or have you just not working in regular middle america..where every other Friday blue collar guys come into the club ready to spend the non-bills portion of their check at the SC. Sure it may only be $100-200 per guy spent versus $1,000, but add those up, and its all green money for dancers.
Also, I've done business with Costco, and they already give all of their employees health benefits. They are really good benefits too. I've analyzed their entire benefits package, and its as good as any white collar corporation. In fact, shareholders were displeased about this and wanted Costco to cut benefits to certain employees, but the Board wouldn't do it (although this was 2 years ago, things might have changed). Its a really good company though, and most of the people who shop there are business owners and at least middle class with a high net worth.





I'll certainly agree that any additional money coming in the club's front door is a 'boost' to dancers. But the point remains that if the newly hired guy now working for Costco used to work at, say, Macy's at a much higher pay rate, then it is still a net loss to dancers. My real point was in reference to the 'false assumption' that the aggressive hiring now being done by certain companies are a net positive for the US economy in general, or a net positive for dancers.Mel, have you forgotten already, or have you just not working in regular middle america..where every other Friday blue collar guys come into the club ready to spend the non-bills portion of their check at the SC. Sure it may only be $100-200 per guy spent versus $1,000, but add those up, and its all green money for dancers.
When the agressive hiring actually amounts to 'trading' a higher paying job for a lower paying job, it is NOT a net positive. Granted that getting a lower paying job is better than having no job at all, but like the official unemployment statistics themselves, a 'less negative' situation is still not the same as a 'positive' situation.





I doubt Macy's pays higher wages than Costco does.
