I am not sure. I have never seen so many “Wanted” signs for workers before.
Nor I, it used to be will work for food, during the Great Depression.
I live in a small rural town pop 7 K, 1 grocery store, Kroger’s is the biggest employer, most PT, few FT. AS TN has a mostly Red governor he left it at if you want a jab get it, same for masks. But we have 4 Blue run counties, Memphis leads, which is Shelby Co. Jabs/masks are mandated, exodus has begun. Even blacks are fleeing. It is a combo of Very high Covid/Crime numbers. The shelves look like Venezuela’s. 1 not top end beef roast had a price tag of $201.92 yes you read that right. To save you have to buy required amounts. In a year prices have gone up $2.00 or more on the stuff that usually isn’t a regular sale item. Problem is major medical is located their. Including hospitals. Our nearest is full of Covid, and JUNKIES.
Gov cut off the UE. So some were forced to go back to work, but don’t stay long, job hop, when the mandates are forced. DQ makes them show proof. Which is not state legal.
Even in the more affluent smaller cities are rebelling,
IT’S A HOUSE SELLERS MARKET, OVER PAYING FOR HOUSES. IF YOU CAN SELL YOURS IN THE BLUE COUNTIES.
