re: This employee shortage isn't letting up

Dead from opioids and/or gunshot wounds.

So you need more workers that are willing to work for subpar wages and are hoping that immigrants will do that. And how do you feel about those foreign workers cohabitating and living next door to your home?

Cut able bodied welfare and that wouldn’t be a problem.

I guess I am fortunate. I would like to marry in my 50’s but the market doesn’t favor me. I have been blessed though to work a job in meteorology for 30 years without having to stress about money. I have zero debt. But this economy scares me and if the market collapses again, I might end up out of a job.

Honestly, I'm starting to wonder if this will end.

If the service industry were to start paying better with bennies, then yeah - people will come fill those jobs. Keep it up with the low wages, part time positions, no bennies - then no. Cook your steaks at home. Nature of the beast.
Several friends of mine that were line cooks had to find other ways to pay the bills and most of them wound up in warehousing. Almost triple the pay, bennies, consistent schedules compared to the shite they had to deal with in the kitchens is every reason why theyre not going back to it. Can't blame them.

A few years ago his company did an internal study where they looked at people hired the same year.

How much did they pay for this study???

I need to be in the business of running studies.

My job is helping with studies

I think we need to bring more people into the country who bring value to society.

…..

I also think we need to kick some people out who bring negative value to society.

I mean on a net profit/ margin basis it’s got to be almost impossible for a small restaurant to do this and not charge so much for food that you won’t buy from them

It’s a truly lose/lose situation when you stress it to this point

ell me where is a reasonable starting place to live in EBR for someone starting out making $45-55,000?

---

Ah yes, because you can’t go anywhere other than BR to make a living. And you certainly can’t live anywhere other than the BR metro. Who could possibly give up that jewel?

Do you know how expensive getting just internet is? Not cable, not phone, just internet?

Oh frick off with this shite. You know damn well it’s not just the big bad expensive internet or your water bill. Or your electric bill. It’s your spending habits as well. If you can’t afford internet, you best figure out what else you don’t need so you can get it. Most everyone bitching about their expenses are trying to buy things out of their price range anyway. Spare me your broke dick whining.
