[speaker001:] what I like in a good job is I like good salary but also I think they should have insurance benefits and profit sharing and retirement funds like that so that you can plan for the future and they don't do that any more like they used to in the big companies
[speaker002:] well I I I agree with what you say and of course uh in addition to what you mentioned uh you know I'd like to see them have some uh have more companies have like dental care
[speaker001:] yes uh-huh
[speaker002:] and uh
[speaker001:] medical and dental
[speaker002:] yeah and more benefits for uh working mothers uh
[speaker001:] that's right
[speaker002:] I noticed here lately there's some companies have been providing what they kind of call an in-house day care center where the mothers can come and leave their uh children with somebody locally at the company and go to work and if something happens they're immediately there
[speaker001:] that's great oh wouldn't that be great
[speaker002:] yeah I have a couple of teenagers I have a couple of daughters uh one of which is married and has two two small sons
[speaker001:] uh-huh
[speaker002:] and they stay in a day care and and they have a lot of sickness because they're around the other children
[speaker001:] yeah yeah
[speaker002:] and it would be so nice if uh the company she worked for provided that uh you know in house or or nearby or
[speaker001:] that's right
[speaker002:] now there is there is one benefit that uh is uh offered now um where they pay they pay they pay for hospitalization uh with funds uh before income tax funds uh before with funds that are not taxed
[speaker001:] oh
[speaker002:] but I think that's more or less kind of in the group insurance field
[speaker001:] uh-huh
[speaker002:] so that's a new innovation too for a benefit
[speaker001:] well that in-house day care is excellent they could go on their lunch hour and see their kids or any time
[speaker002:] yeah uh-huh yeah that's true and uh let's see what other benefits do you have any others uh that you'd like to see how about uh
[speaker001:] well I the profit sharing and the retirement they just don't offer those like they used to
[speaker002:] yeah in the old days of course they didn't have any any benefits at all they preached job security but that that went out fast
[speaker001:] yeah oh it didn't that's right
[speaker002:] and uh so now days I guess funding takes part or rather uh uh your benefits are locked in after you're there with a company for five years but the benefits are so small
[speaker001:] um-hum
[speaker002:] and usually they're tied in with social security and uh it
[speaker001:] most people retire on social security now that's all they have
[speaker002:] yeah right and uh so uh even if you have benefits and you and then when you get to social security age they're not as great because they're tied in to social security benefits so you don't get both of them in full
[speaker001:] uh-huh
[speaker002:] so it's hard today to live off of social security if you don't have your home paid for
[speaker001:] that's right that's right
[speaker002:] so uh
[speaker001:] that's what my folks did they're just living on social security they had two houses and they were trying to buy sell one to pay off the other one and oh they waited for like four or five years trying to sell that one house
[speaker002:] um-hum
[speaker001:] so they could pay off the other one because they're just living on social security they had a real hard time
[speaker002:] I see
[speaker001:] yeah you got to have your house paid for
[speaker002:] well you know uh benefits uh are great and uh the more that a company can provide the better off we are but it's so hard now for companies to make a profit as you no doubt uh
[speaker001:] uh-huh
[speaker002:] know you know most of our companies uh are losing their shirt
[speaker001:] that's right that's right
[speaker002:] going bankrupt and uh so some kind of system has to be devised were more more competitive perhaps we've uh uh been uh we were too used to off time and all these benefits that are not uh taking care of us in our old age but we're getting immediate effect of them like for example like seven hour days and and uh when in effect while we're young we ought to be working harder and come up with better benefits so that when we get older we have the uh
[speaker001:] um-hum
[speaker002:] we we have those benefits available to us in in a need that would make it easy for us in retirement
[speaker001:] yeah they don't have to work so hard um-hum
[speaker002:] uh you know social security again most of the young people today are paying in they don't have any any they don't believe that anything will be left over
[speaker001:] um-hum um-hum
[speaker002:] when they get to retirement age course the old bank never gets out you know
[speaker001:] I heard that all my life there wasn't going to be any when I was on it
[speaker002:] yeah uh-huh and uh so uh
[speaker001:] or when I got on it
[speaker002:] I guess uh we can make our dollar go lower and lower and lower until you get to zero and then everybody can say okay nobody has anything and start over again
[speaker001:] yeah well the insurance that's that's the main thing that I worry about is the insurance
[speaker002:] um-hum insurance costs are going up
[speaker001:] well and they and they just
