On the other hand, that kind of job is stable, pays well enough, and doesn't demand much outside of 9-5. For people with families, that's a lot more appealing than you'd think.

True, but this is a company where when I logged on the other day there was an article about a guy retiring after 52 years as a delivery driver. Yes, that's right, fifty two years at one company, although I imagine he did small package delivery and feeder work (trailer loads). So not just one position, but pretty close.
