Money is not the number one priority for Gen Y, which is what other generations don't understand/get upset about.
If you're advertising a job that pays $17 per hour, has a title of labourer, and doesn't have good time off, you're doing it exactly wrong if you're looking for Gen Y help.
You'd be better off giving 4 weeks paid vacation and calling them construction technicians (construction labourer) or logistics assistants (warehouse labourer) with a base salary of $13 per hour.
That makes it a career with lifestyle flexibility instead of a job.
