“Jack up the hourly rate and you’ll find more employees. Ultimately, that is what it comes down to.”
Seems so simple yet some can’t grasp that concept.

We grasp the concept. Depending on the business and what they are selling, and their profit margins in that business, they may not be able to just jack up the hourly rate paid to employees.

AMF to them. Go out of business if you are unwilling to pay the going rate for labor. Somelse will and have a larger market share. Or, Learn To Code.

The Government is competing in the labor markets paying people quite well not to work . Biden has made this clear when asked about people on generous covid payments causing labor shortages by not wanting to rejoin the work force . He did one of creepy whisper tricks replying “pay them more” . Pay them more meant more than $20 hour to compete with government stimulus. There are serious constraints on employers abilities to raise prices. This is going to be a huge disaster when the economic reality hits and we are literally tapped out, over drawn and just plain out of money to pay people not to work. It's coming :-(
