Omaha is one of the top telemarketing markets in America. I’ve heard that this is due to the fact that we are one of the most plain spoken people in America today. Me thinks it also has something to do with the fact that the cost of living is low in Omaha, and as a result so are the wages.
Restaurants are also huge in Omaha. The marketing line on restarurants in Omaha is: “If you can make it in Omaha, you can probably make it anywhere.” Again, this may be due to the wages and the cost of living, but Omaha has also been said to have some of the most common tastes in America.
I list the traits of Omaha in this manner to lay the foundation for the fact that I know that working in Omaha is the same as working in Duluth, Albuquerque, Monroe, and Pocatello. If something is going right in America, it’s usually going right in Omaha, likewise if times are getting tough. Telemarketing and restaurant jobs are all over America, so I know that my plight in the workforce is no different than any other unqualified worker in any part of America, but that doesn’t mean that I’m going to hold back. I know I’m lucky to have a job, but I’m over that. I usually get over it about two weeks in when the reality of what I have to do slides down on me.
