New Businesses Coming to Southern Maryland

$10 per hour is still better than nothing. :shrug:

Reading is your friend,
I said these are the jobs people who use to make upwards of 75K, 85K or more are now taking. Corect?

Now do the math, if you were making 85K and now making less than 18K do you have the money in your budget to go out and eat, to shop, etc?

No likley. Which means, the jobs are not long for this world.

These are the jobs kids took, part time jobs. Now they are peoples main source of income. It's not a reflection on the people taking the jobs, it's an indicator our economy is in the crapper. You can't sustain these jobs if people don't have money to spend. People making $0/per hour, working 30 hours per week, aren't going to have that money.

OK. I'll bite. What are the plans for the existing buildings?

Sorry been busy,
Kohls is one that has put down a letter of intent on part of the Walmart building.
We would be sectioning the building into three or more spaces and doing a reface of it. We are also looking at a craft store and office supply but they are just proposed as of now. Its up in the air until we get everything with the new location settled.

Nicks could still be a possibility, restaurant row was never talked about, and a theater would require a taller ceiling.

 

[Disney4845]

Any truth to Plaza Tolteca taking over the Jasper's building in P. Fred?

I have not heard that yet.

As opposed to no jobs?

No jobs is a better option than more crappy jobs.

A larger Walmart will attract more "People of Walmart" and there won't be enough $10/hour jobs created to pay enough taxes in to cover the costs of dealing with them. That equals a net loss.

Don't take my word for it- go sit at the current Walmart parking lot by the VanGo stop for a few hours. Watch the trash build up, count how many smokes are tossed on the ground, count how many times the police pull in and out of there. Place is a dump, we don't need a bigger dump.

Disney whats up with the new McKays in Charlotte Hall, something happen to stop construction. Its just a nice big area of dirt now with a nice green storm pond with ducks coming and going. Did the builder destroy some wetlands, there was a creek that started there on that land and ran down through the woods across the street from me in my developement Creek is still in my hood, but it looks to be the storm pond now on the construction site.

Nothing to do with wetlands, I believe they had to do some work before permits expired. I will ask my agent that has the listing. We have a bunch of proposals for tenants to go thru with the landlord.

First part of work has to be inspected before next permit is issued.

Not true, we need jobs, but $10 / hr jobs can't sustain the economy of hte area, it requires people with disposable income. It's not just the hourly rate, these are part time jobs. People want to work, so they will take the jobs, but since their income is now 75 percent less than it was 2 years ago, they aren't going to be doing much shopping or eating out - necessities only.
Which means those same businesses aren't going to be able to sustain the workrocre with the drop in sales.

Chain stores aren't going to go bankrupt because this market is depressed, but they have sales goals and corporate is going to ask them to cut expenses if they can't meet those goals. That means either layoffs or cutting working hours.

You do realize that single people without kids can get by with $10 per hour jobs, right? Same goes for spouses. I have a friend who is ready to join the workforce after being a SAHM for the past 10 years. Her husband makes okay money, but she just wants her own income to make herself feel better and provide them with a little more comfort.

Do you realize you are still lost? We are talking apples and oranges.
Your friend entering the workforce... is not someone who lost a job that making 85K per year. The point being these jobs are perfect for kids, people who want to add some spare change, but the do not replace the jobs that have been lost.
While there is nothing wrong with beign a cashier at Cracker Barrel, it's a far cry from the pay of an engineer or accountant. What we are doing locally, and nationally as well, is replacing these higher paying jobs with $10/hr part time jobs and calling it even.
My comments were not a put down on the job itself or the people who work them. But rather a statement on the sad state of the economy and the direction we are headed.
If your friends husband lost his job and found himself working part time at 10/hr, what would they be doing? Would they be shopping in the local store and going out to dinner? No, I think not. Which in turn would force those employers to cut back.
Which is why these jobs can't sustain the economy and using them to prop up job niumbers is a sham.

Agreed. Family's can't get by on 10 bucks an hour in this area. What's not talked about is the educational divide. Generally (note the built in equivocation), people with 4 year degrees make far more than those with merely a HS diploma. Those with STEM degrees make more than those with liberal arts degree...and that's just the cold hard truth. According to the US Census, St. Mary's falls far below the MAryland average for 4 year degrees by aboout 26% versus the average 36% This will make a difference in the local economy as defense spending shrinks...mark my words!
