As mentioned yesterday, there are still desperate people unable to find work in an allegedly booming economy.
You'd have to be at the end of your rope to stick your resume on a race car, but that's a promotion a beer company is planning for NASCAR's South Point 400 in Las Vegas.

"Taste great. Less filling" should give way "Fewer hoops. More hiring."
