Openings in fast food jobs and cashier positions. Nobody wants to deal with maskless Qarens for minimum wage.
@T. R. Campbell And if they get sick and die..?
**STEPHANIE RUHLE is a multi-millionaire,,,,, who’s upset that no one wants to wait her table,, for minimum wage!!!!!**
@John Edward exactly.
@Tessmage Tessera If they are vaccinated, that won’t happen. The vaccines are free, and there is no longer a shortage.
Lmao it’s Trump supporters fault now? You ppl are truly pathetic.
after a year off, no one wants to go back to being working slaves of corporations masters
Biden is a disappointment
@Matlow Jaster I think a lot of people are beginning to have buyers remorse concerning Joe. I still believe that he is getting some very bad advice from some of the retreads that he brought into his administration.
@Matlow Jaster so which is it? Biden is sleepy, or Biden does too much? I guess you are always disappointed
Right? Just make the ppl working subsidize your lifestyle
@Fbi Agent The people working seems to subsidize the members of the House and the Senate and all of the bureaucrats that work in DC.
I wonder why people don’t want to go back to jobs during a pandemic for part time or low wage positions while risking sickness and having kids still doing schooling at home.
**STEPHANIE RUHLE,,, WHO’S A MULTI-MILLIONAIRE,,, THINKS THAT OUR UNEMPLOYMENT BENEFITS ARE TOO HIGH!!!! SHE’S AGAINST RAISING THE MINIMUM WAGE!!!! AND SHE DID EVERYTHING SHE COULD,, TO SCARE PEOPLE AWAY FROM BERNIE SANDERS!!!!**
If you need to address jobs of any kind, offer a living wage. The pandemic exposed wage slavery.
@Pete Thomas Of course, a qualified and skilled employee is a gawdsend to a business or corporation. The problem today is finding one and getting him/her to walk through the door.
NO livable wages of $25/Hour and up for over 77 million Americans means the economy is dead! Capitalism is dead! No recovery! UBI for life will fix this issue as well if $3,000/Month ( tax free for the first $36,000/Year)🤬
@T. R. Campbell you make an investment into a training program that pays you back in the end. You invest into employees to get what you need from them inturn helping them get what they need from you. A living wage. This entails the person at the top making less for future gains.
@Pete Thomas people don’t realize this or may have forgotten the fact that very early on in his presidency Trump brought together education, organize labor and employers. He put together a program where young people could receive training in the technical crafts and trades without amassing a huge amount of student debt.
The son of a friend took advantage of this training program with an electrical company and with the IBEW. He received training in fiber optics. The young man worked in the field with experienced employees and got paid. He attended classes over the weekend. And now he earns over $150k per year.
I hope Joe kept this great program in place.
@T. R. Campbell he gave us Devos who destroyed the education system. You are delusional.
People no longer want to work for trash companies.
I didn’t catch the man’s name that has “American Action Forum” behind him, but how can he say that Elder Care is not workforce participation?
That’s Douglas Holtz-Eakin.
Exactly, I found that statement shocking!!!
Just like child care, a lot is done by family members, and is not paid.
**MULTI-MILLIONAIRE,,, STEPHANIE RUHLE,,, CAN’T UNDERSTAND THAT WORKERS NEED A LIVING WAGE!!!! SHE DOESN’T HAVE A CLUE!!!**
These stooges are involved in Stone Age thinking.
Stephanie…new hairstyle…gorgeous, but hey, she could wear sack cloth and ashes. Still gorgeous
She’s a raging C
Famoly’s were bailed out…The single people not married with no children are still absolutely struggling and starving…That is a lerger number than economists are looking at
I think your problem arises from an inability to spell, or punctuate.
Thirty thousand dollars a year is not a livable wage!!
At all! Everything goes up, except wages!😒
And leisure/hospitality jobs don’t pay well either.
You’re kidding us right? There’s not a person I know that has not already spent that $1,400 and it was spent before they even got it! So if you’re looking for a large increase in consumer spending you can forget it!
On $300 a week, we couldn’t even feed the chickens!
Got off unemployment and made less money. Thank God I found a better position within a few months.
NO livable wages of $25/Hour and up for over 77 million Americans means the economy is dead! Capitalism is dead! No recovery! UBI for life will fix this issue as well if $3,000/Month ( tax free for the first $36,000/Year)!
I wonder if he knows what daycare employees are paid on average… 😐
Shannon Boyd …they are paid nearly One Half of each Parents paycheck a week.
Lumber is not more expensive because of a lack of workers. There is a severe lumber shortage, because of a decades long beetle infestation in Canada.
♥ Stephanie
Well you have to hustle hard in a full restaurant to make good money in tips.
People are going to get sick of the restaurants and things closing at 7-9pm because they don’t have employees and we’ll get out there
The government needs to quit overpaying people. Why in the world would people go back to work when they make more staying at home????!!!!
