Our bad economy is pushing some Anne Arundel Community students into trying to find jobs on campus.
But, with the bad economy the students coming to AACC for tours of the campus have decreased, which in makes the demand for people working on campus also decrease.
There has been about a 63% decrease in tours since the summer. There used to be about 200 tours on any given Saturday, and now it’s down to 75 tours on a good Saturday.
Lauren Haislip is currently working in the Visitor Services Center, and when we went to talk to her she told us about:
- not being able to get enough hours
- she has to share five days a week with 11 other people
Although she says that she loves her job, she seemed a little bitter that she has to share her hours with so many people (which I'm sure I would be too).
“The economy is affecting our whole college, not necessarily (just) us” said Haislip referring to some other buildings that should be remodeled and updated, “We will have the same location for awhile; we won’t get our own building.”
