Can someone explain to me why we have so many staff shortages

Why is this still an issue, I must be missing something. The airports are a mess. That’s just one industry.

If companies would pay more the jobs would be filled. Period.

JJ like when you had your fencing company. If you were looking for workers and placed an ad for
$10 dollars an hour - no takers. Bump that to $30 dollars an hour and you have position filled.

But the 30 dollar an hour eats into your profit - finding the sweet spot where both employer and employee are happy is the challenge.

JJ are you flying somewhere?

 

[jjgold]

Diggity no

I'm just reading there's so many flight cancellations

I would think wage increases would help
Companies have been screwing the little man

Back during the height of the pandemic I know some people that were being paid more to stay home from the government then actually going to work. But JJ to answer your question I employers need to definitely pay more to obtain good employees

central florida is the worst. so many illegals in little construction gangs of 4-7

not blaming them ppl take whatever they are given. but now the base pay is like $14/hr in the heat and dirt

impossible to build a life off that, prime guy 25 whats the point really you cant ever save anything. those illegals will form gangs and revolt at some point as well. saw it at a factory in NH and i dont get out much

Minimum wage is the USA is $7.25 an hour, it hasnt changed since 2008 I believe. With inflation through the roof, although it has come down a bit... People can't pay the Bills on $7.25/hr.
