Re: WOW! Employee SHORTAGES due to Monthly Earned Income Checks??
Went shopping here in Colorado.

For years, In this area it is hard to find retail/restaurant people because the rent is so high, BUT now there is an actual shortage.

Businesses are closing because they can't find workers. Many places bogged down with only a few workers....

For instance, Sub way closed and they told the next door doughnut business that they just couldn't find people to work so they closed......

Maybe the truckers are quitting too....Crazy!

I know its hearsay, but has this happened in your area?

I think for the most part people finally realized their job = shit and are unwilling to go back to it.

Same shill thread every other day.

Pay people and they'll show up.

Days of slave wages are over.

Fold your small business, ie hobby, if you can't pay labor.

How stupid can you be to say it's okay to pay slave wages? Suck some more managers ballsacks, they might let you touch their new car you worked hard to earn for them.

Part of the problem up here in MA, specifically, the Cape are the Visas. We normally have a lot of Irish kids over during the summer to work as waiters and housekeepers.

enough is enough, conservatives cry about a worker shortage but don't realize nobody wants to work at McDonald's for minimum wage


oh, woe is me!

nobody wants to work for $5 an hour, oh good God Im calling my local conservative politicians to complain

they need to end unemployment, so I can have slaves to work


oh, woe is me
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 66312490

And…..here’s the problem with your little, “Nobody wants to work at McDonalds for $5.”
You are absolutely correct in your statement, nobody does, but here’s the thing, if out of 360 million people your job is so fucking easy that literally even people that can’t read can do it…..your job, isn’t worth very much. So therefore you aren’t worth as much. Not in the job market. If however out of 360 million people, you have to have some modicum of skills, for the job you posess, guess what? You get fucking paid more to do it! Why? Because your job is more complex and requires particular skills that one must go out and acquire beyond….pushing buttons with pictures on them because you never learned how to read and flipping burgers, you fucking IDIOT!

Sister has a cafe/bakery. Nobody wants to work, she is getting too old to run the place by herself and is looking to sell. Low end workers have gotten used to doing nothing and collecting "free money" and don't want to get out of bed to take a job. She is a fair employer, pays above minimum wage even before she was required to and gives bonuses when she can. She has even tried breaking it down to show them that they can make more working for her and if they work hard the tips are good, but they say it's sweeter to make enough to keep living at their mom's place and not have to work at all.

I don't feel bad for the mega employers like McD and Wally World that could pay a living wage if they wanted to, but they will survive. It's the few small businesses that have hung on and sacrificed to stay in business during the lock down that are faced with either running their business on their own at a loss or shutting down. Funny how those of us that have continued to work and pay taxes during this all are the ones that will pay for the deadbeats and when we lose it all there will be nothing left to help us out.

I agree. There needs to be guidelines and policy put into place in regards to employee count vs company proceeds. Smaller businesses could be helped by taxes that are dodged from the megacorps, and taxpayers can quit footing the pay for megacorps welfare workers

i know a couple places that shut down because people wont work, THERE. Beer houses. Pay is crap, waiting tables, 15 hours a week, or 50+ hours, with NO OVER TIME PAY, working 3 times harder. Not worth the BS to alot. Not to mention, alot of others found better jobs, when shit opened back up.

Re: WOW! Employee SHORTAGES due to Monthly Earned Income Checks??
I am underemployed . Posters have already touched on most issues . I have another to add . I applied at countless jobs earlier in spring . I had one interview by a cocky twenty year old manager . I did Not get the job . I have over a decade of experience . You see some of these managers and HR are looking for people of color , what ever . I can get by on very little . I saw multiple jobs I applied for placing ads again in a few weeks including they one I went to . If they would stop being so picky . I would have been stellar at that job . I am a middle aged white male btw .

They are probably thinking if they give you a job that you could end up taking their job because of your qualifications. So you don’t get hired.

Don't you think people realize they are being killed off?

Most just decided they are not going to be slaves on the way out and want to enjoy the time they have left.

According to this, restaurants are hurting for employees because no one wants to work for shitty pay, no benefits and with rude customers.

That would be correct. Nearly 20 years ago when I started working, minimum wage wage $6. It took 1 hour of work, and I could afford 2 meals. Nowadays at $7.25, I can barely afford 1 meal.

Considering fast food won't give 40 hours most places, I never had insurance when I was that young since I would have had to pay. There's no reason a giant food corporation can't afford to pay me enough for daily needs while they are paying executives millions in bonuses and managers double my pay to stand around with a grudge to the hourly workers.

Know a guy with 5 kids, he's getting $1,500 a month for EIT now, and probably got around $30,000 for all the stimulus payments in the last year.

You do the math.

Re: WOW! Employee SHORTAGES due to Monthly Earned Income Checks??
Another real problem where I live is that it's impossible to find a rental unit anywhere near these jobs. Downtown Vancouver has a real problem filling retail and food and beverage jobs because the average rent for a one bedroom within the same transit zone is at least $2000, which is more than one full time minimum wage job. Thanks to "foreign investors" buying up all the real estate and leaving the units unoccupied. People simply can't afford to take these jobs. Even in the outer suburbs a one bedroom is around $1200 and a bus pass to get from there to a job in Vancouver is $200 and would be a couple of hours each way commuting. Once the bills are paid you would have nothing left for food.

Similar on Kauai. Rent (IF you can find a place) is outrageous, as is the cost of food and fuel. On top of that, we’re having infrastructure issues. Only one main road with the North Shore still on limited convoy access due to a major slide in March, several other traffic snarling projects around the island and WAY too many tourists along with locals causing daily traffic jams. So, while there may be jobs on one side of the island, the people who need them might live on the other side with a very looong, difficult and stressful commute.
