What more workers? Pay more money. It’s not complex.
Then you tell us where they are.
‘I hate it when FReepers rag on all young people.’
hmmm...so you hate it when people express opinions on an opinion forum; OK...
Greatest problem is the minimum wage. If employers have to pay through the nose for labor, less productive young’uns are not even in the running.
I didn't see in the article where the subway guy said he would raise the salaries of employees to attract workers.
Mowing neighborhood lawns is done mainly by immigrants nowadays. Anecdotal evidence is that this is true in many parts of the country, not just states adjacent to Mexico.
Both of my kids are working and going to school. Very proud of them.
They run up against how much they can raise the price of their products and still make the sale, if they raise wages substantially.
Yes if wages go up they can reach a point where all.jbs are filled. But will the market support a $10 footlong special?
My younger kid has had a lawn biz since he was 10. Both my kids also paid for their own cars.
I see a lot of senior citizens working in McDonalds. They seem to love what they do. Keeps them active and social.
When I get someone I can’t understand I ask for the manager. I tell them I’m not happy that I can’t understand their employee and I’m pretty sure they can’t understand me. It may not make a difference but it makes them stop whatever else they’re doing and come to the window and deal with me. If everyone started doing it and the manager spent all day dealing with it maybe they’d quit hiring them.
I had substantial jobs every summer of my teen years. Even after entering college I worked every Summer. My children did the same.
Sure. Head out to some beach areas. ‘They’ import Russians and other people from Europe to work here!
Local landfills via planned parenthood?
The McDonald’s in my area recently installed kiosks where you can order electronically. You can still order from a person at the counter, but there are fewer people at the counter than before - usually only one.
And playing online games.
Today's teenagers don't usually venture out of the house as much as we free range teenagers did.
BTW, at eleven I had a paper route AND I was pulling weeds for a landscaping company. At twelve, I became a member of the crew -- complete with my own designated lawn mower. My thirteenth summer I worked full time mowing lawns and bought myself a dirt bike. At fifteen I worked in a Chevron gas station. At sixteen I made money playing in a rock band. At eighteen I became a SCUBA instructor.
Apparently, here in the People’s Democracy of Kanaduh, word has come down from d’Ottawa to businesses including Wallyworld, that immigrants are to be hired AHEAD of Canadians. Gotta keep Dustbin’s immigtation policies looking good! Apparently the ‘persuasion’ involves the intimation that too many hires of Canadians instead of immigrants could result in tax audits and numerous other sorts of audits.
O Canada!
Good point.
