What gives ? Maybe it's time that these companies pony up, and pay a decent wage.
Seems to me that anyone who can pass a drug test, and show up to work 5 days in a row repeatably, and do a reasonably good job is a rare, and valuable commodity in today's world.

Wages don't make the worker. Paying more isn't going to bring more dedicated, responsible workers into the work force. If you are content to sit on your ass now, offering more money isn't going to turn you into a good worker. Paying more might help keep people you have, but it isn't going to increase the pool of good workers.
