What really baffles me here is that in essence, what happened is exactly what free market economics would have predicted. If you can’t find people for low paying jobs, you increase wages and will get more workers. That’s literally economics 101, like, the first or second page in an economics book.

And if they have money they might spend it on things like fast food, that generates a need for more workers. Who’d have thought?!
