Men wanted for hazardous journey, low wages, bitter cold, long hours of complete darkness,

safe return doubtful,

honor and recognition in event of success.

Hey, it's Seth, and this is a Kimbo.

We'll be back in a second to talk about real help wanted ads, but first,

here's a message from our sponsor.

Hi, Seth and the Kimbo community.

My name is Edafei. I'm a refugee living in New York City.

I and a group of volunteers came together to create an organization

to help displaced people tell their stories.

If you would like to help, please visit www.refugeamerica.org-tick-action.

You could help to use your skills to help displaced people to tell their stories

and make America a more welcoming place. Thank you.

I don't know if the newspaper comes to your house any longer,

but if it does, you may have noticed something happening over the last 20 or 25 years.

The Sunday paper is a lot lighter.

For many local newspapers, the help wanted section on Sunday paid most of the bills.

One statistic I saw years ago is that the classified section of the newspaper

accounted for 108 percent of the profit of a typical newspaper, meaning

it was all of it plus a little bit extra to pay for other things they did that lost money.

The help wanted section, of course, today is a shadow of its former self.

What's amazing to me is that it exists at all.
