Any time I read about a company unable to find workers, it always seems the wages offered are too low. Here in NJ trucking companies need workers, and while everyone has a story about a trucker who makes millions, that isn’t what these jobs are offering. Potential truckers aren’t sitting on their asses collecting welfare; they’re doing some other type of work where the pay better matches their expectations.
A long time ago the only requirement to work at Ga. Power was to be a high school grad and to have played high school football or some other sport. Mayhaps, the high schools should include vocational classes as well as reading stage plays written by Billy Shakespeare.
Amazing isn’t it?
People who claim to be Capitalist and yet are baffled when people aren’t willing to work for crap wages. Kind of like maybe there is some sort of economic law at play here?
If they can’t get people, they’re not paying enough; black and white. If I am unwilling to pay for a guitar, a car, or a house, then I don’t get it.
There are plenty of people willing to work, but not for $10 or $20 an hour.
