Are they still complaining no one wants to work? I thought that reversed last year. When they WERE complaining about that it WAS pretty damn easy to get a job. For entry level stuff anyway. I had my pick of the litter, but now finding a better job is near impossible again, the way it was before COVID.

It’s a great anti labor propaganda line. They will never stop saying it now. There’s a group of business interests that wouldn’t mind pushing labor rights all the way back to indentured servitude.

I heard someone IRL say it just last week. I think the issue is more specific to certain jobs or industries at this point, whereas before it was widespread and there were worker shortages in every field.

What I glean now is that a lot of the “no one wants to work anymore” issues are centered around low paying service jobs. Which in my mind tells me basically that people have skilled up to fill better paying roles, and the overall reduction in employable workers means there simply aren’t people willing to work those low paying jobs anymore.
