Times are tough in Iceland.
In Reykjanesbær alone there is more then 200 unemployed electricians. That means 200 that didnt get a job doing something else.
But today Davíð got a summer job, YIPPEE!, so he is not in the list of 200.
This is good for him to get his hours counted towards his education.
The only bad thing is that while the price of living has been shooting up, food alone has risen 36% in the last 2 years, the wages have been sliding down.
So Davíð's new job will pay 350kr less then he was making before. The 1250kr an hour is equal to $10.00 CND. Seriously.
Welcome to recession I am having the same problem with finding work in mechanics because the shops are slow which from what I have heard from talking to 15 some odd shops and they say it too dam slow for this time of year.........Oh well what can you do
