Why are good mechanics so hard to find?
Asked by power_puph
I have been trying to hire a heavy equipment mechanic in Denver, Colorado. This job starts at $15-$18 for someone with minimal experience and I think I have posted it everywhere except the local newspapers because I have not had much luck with the papers in the first place. Is there somewhere I am not posting that I should be?

Best Answer:
Try advertising overseas. This is good money for some one with little experience.
We have a shortage over here in New Zealand as well.
Some of the mechanics over here are getting 45-60 dollars an hour plus work vehicles and housing.
Good staff are hard to find and even harder to keep if you aren't paying well.
Not that you are paying bad money. $16 say Converted to the kiwi dollar is about $23.50 per hour. Not a bad income.
All the best to you

But isn't it GOOD when you find a hard mechanic.
Sorry couldn't resist that little bit of naughty
Seriously go and chat up your local gas staion owner and he will probably be able to refer you to one of his friends.
Remember this equipment often needs gas so they are known there.
