Many children grow up hoping and dreaming to be firefighters, but usually as they get older, the appeal of running into a burning building dies down. They settle for jobs with less excitement and fill the cubicles of corporate America. But these days, apparently, fire is looking pretty appealing. In Miami, Florida, news of job openings for firefighters at Miami Fire Department spread like rapid fire, and soon there were almost a thousand people camping out 48 hours before the job interviews would begin. With a 7% unemployment rate, the demand for jobs is at a high. ""I think that it's almost a call for help," said Aszurdee Jeff, a recent Florida State graduate. "Desperation you know being that the economy is not stable. It's a lot of people that really want the stability."" Stability is the prize, and an inelastic one at that.
