Posted by Mark in It’s obvious that many small businesses aren’t in a position to hire in this economy. However, one business (Plaza Cleaners) is trying to help the unemployed indirectly. We are not sure where the business is located. If you have any information on them, please let us know.
Update : Based on all the comments, the business shown in the picture above is located in Portland, Oregon. Their website can be found at PlazaCleaners.

Great find, Mark. I hope that Plaza Cleaners gets some customers out of this.

I applaud people who care this much!
That is awesome! Wish there were more like them.
we have a restaurant, the patty pan grill, in seattle at the ballard farmer’s market that will sell you food at half price if unemployed
this is them: http://www.plazacleaners.net/
Wonderful …!!!
wish there were many such kind people around…
I think I could pass that way next time I’ve got something that needs to be drycleaned. They’ve got the absolute correct spirit. Good for them!
Pretty typical. Under the heading of “How One Business is Helping the Unemployed”, there follows no description of what they are doing that helps the unemployed other than the unspecific word “indirectly”. This is of course accompanied by a picture that shows absolutely nothing.
I therefore conclude “Oh goody, a business that expects to survive via social conscience”.
Atlas is shrugging.
Hurry up and go for an interview..
It’s good to see such caring people in what are bad times. It restores your faith in humanity when others try to blow it to bits!

It’s nice to see this sort of thing. However, the cynic in me worries that there would be a line of people just waiting to take advantage of this kind offer… am I wrong?

That’s a very nice thing those cleaners are doing. If more businesses would do things like that…it’s a small shimmer of hope for some. Thanks for sharing.
Despite the fact that there will obviously always be people who will take advantage of their generosity, they are clearly aware of that and choose to make the offer anyway. That’s true human spirit right there – let’s see if we can get the word out and spark a trend!
Thanks for the great information. I hope to be back soon. I have book marked it keep posting. Thanks again.
great idea to help others ..
Oh good job by cleaners . Thanks for sharing
That is great! Another thing to add is if you don’t have interview clothes to be dry cleaned, Freecycle is a great way to get them for free!

Great thought. Friends of mine had gone through pretty much the same when they looked for Wicked Tickets. I had told them to Buy Wicked Tickets from BuyWickedTickets . net
That is some thing great to know about.
I love this site, i just bookmarked it.
Excellent site, where did you come up with the knowledge in this post? Im pleased I found it though, ill be checking back soon to see what other articles you have.
I put Plaza Cleaners 909 into Google and found them instantly, you can even see the notice on Google Street View to verify:

Hey great. But why stop there? Every grocery store should give free food to the unemployed, every apartment complex owner should give free rent to the unemployed. And then, soon enough, the unemployed won’t have to look for work anymore because everything is taken care of right? Why would anyone look for work when all their needs are taken care of? This hypothetical actual sounds very familiar, except instead of a private company who is free to do as they wish, it is the government forcefully taking our money and doing it without my consent.
