Most people I know who worked service jobs before the pandemic never returned to them. They either returned to school or are working in new industries. My brother who managed a hotel is now instead managing a department store. My brother-in-law, who was a chef at an upscale restaurant, now works at a slower pace at a boutique grocer. One of my buddies that worked as a host in a restaurant went back to school to be an electrician. Due to the pandemic a lot of restaurants that would normally pad their roster with international workers don't have access to them anymore.
The food industry (and especially fast food) is a thankless job with terrible hours, poor pay, and maniacal bosses. Its no wonder no one wants to work in it anymore. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: The companies aren't to blame here, the government is. A huge portion of the work force was voluntarily unemployed for a year or more with the extra money. My point is that UPS is Directly responsible for loosing a few good workers by lying. Lineman school takes physical ability and some intelligence. If I take a job and my pay is cut by $3+ an hour from our agreement, then who is responsible for breaking the agreement? That is my point on this situation. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: I don't get it either, at least in NC. Government benefits haven't been a factor for a month now here, according to the people I've talked to. Tons of jobs are sitting empty, but at the same time people are buying vehicles and real estate like hot cakes at exorbitant prices. Something doesn't add up. out of staters buying up all the real estate tbh. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: It's a perfect job for the poor oldsters. We should abolish SS and just let them serve burgers.

Retailers like me stole all the fast food workers.
Wendys here pays $8 an hour for cook. I eat out everyday and recruit the people with the best attitudes for $14-16 an hour to push shopping carts and load customers. WMT announced they pay $15 an hour minimum but not in all areas. I am hiring their workers who have good attitudes and make $11 and paying them $15. That leaves poor attitudes and poor pay at the retailers that won’t keep up with wage growth. |

The majority of counties in the US have a smaller youth population today than they did 10 years ago. People don't think demographic collapse and labor shortages be like it is, but it do! This is only the beginning, it will be far worse ten years from now.

I’m curious as to what is getting moderated so heavily.

Quote HistoryQuoted: most people quit eating out all the time, so there is also less demand.

Unfortunately, a lot of companies fail to realize that if you pay with peanuts all you will get is monkeys.
