I have an explanation for this.

Mississippi sucks. You should move someplace nicer.

That is not an explanation. It's a non-sequitur.

It's ignorant. How can someone from New Jersey possibly say another state sucks.

You do have a point there....

New Jersey is the best state in the union, second only to New York.

If there were only two states, sure.

I've been there several times and I would much rather live here.

I am poor and I just hired someone for a very part time job, because I needed them. I do not receive any handouts though. I wish I did, I deserve them more than most

Ever been hired by a poor person?

Are you paying their FICA for them? Medical insurance? Unemployment insurance? Reporting their wages to the IRS, state, and local governments? Did they fill out an I-9 for you? Do you even have an EIN? You wouldn't want to cheat the government, in case you decide to work for them later.

Seriously, hiring a plumber or a baby sitter is hardly "job creation".

There aren't many jobs here unless you want to go into the military. All the "rich" people are firing their employees, not hiring.

Still no answer?

[rika60607 215]

Don't have to. Due to my poverty and temporary nature of the job, I will not be able to pay them enough to be required to do all that.

AND if I had to pay FICA, unemployment etc, I would not be able to pay them enough to even want the job.

It isn't? Interesting.

What do you consider a job then? Would you consider hiring a peach picker - a job creation? If yes, what's the difference?

It sounds like they aren't employees but contractors

[rika60607 215]

You are right. They are contractors.
