The Daily Messenger: The forced removals have begun - Contact Tracing

While private businesses across the Oregon remain closed, some permanently, the State is hiring. "In a May 1 press release, Gov. Brown announced her “contact-tracing plan sets a goal of training at least 600 contact tracers” . These contact tracers are not just your garden-variety, off-the-shelf contact tracers, either. The plan has “a focus on recruiting individuals with cultural and linguistic competence for the populations they serve,” which certainly increases their price. The Legislative Fiscal Office uses the figure of $250,000 per biennium as an estimate for the cost of hiring a new employee. That includes salary, benefits, overhead, a computer, a cubicle, a boss, etc., so if you divide the biennial cost by two, that means $125,000 per year. Multiply that times 600 workers and you get a cool $75 million. That doesn’t even count the new Employment Department hires.


Just more government welfare jobs let's waste some more taxpayers money on worthless jobs.
