Hundreds of jobs available here but ‘we just can’t find people to fill them.’ Employers point to pandemic benefits where ‘folks can make over $16 an hour not working.’

You constantly whine about competing with foreign labor, but if you were any good, you’d be earning a top salary right now as a developer, and you wouldn’t even notice Subcontinental developers. Furthermore, you don’t know sh*t about running a business, or else you wouldn’t make dumbassed statements like the post I’m replying to. Honestly, I think you’re on the wrong forum...oh, and LEARN TO CODE.

Wait, what? I am saying there are market forces and the wages fluctuate just like any other traded commodity but you CALL ME A MARXIST? What a boob. You are a moron.

So when everyone is collecting unemployment, and no one is working, we have runaway inflation. Money becomes paper, and toilet paper is worth more than dollars.

Ha ha. I have to compete with indentured H-1B slaves in my IT career so small greedy business owners can shove it and pay up. Or learn to code.

You posted on Freerepublic, I think you meant to post on DU based upon your "hate the business owner". You know, the one who runs the business that PAYS YOU.

Don't like it? Then leave, simple as that.

No, I run a business and I pay top dollar to get the best. I’m not running a restaurant, though, I’m running a software company. That’s how I know that you’re an idiot—there’s a shortage of quality developers right now. The only reason you are whining about H1Bs is because you have no skills and you suck.

It seems odd to me that conservatives seem to have lost sight of standard economics. Unfortunately economics have been completely biased by government actions, but the law of supply and demand still exists. But to hear folks here giving you crap, while it is also common for folks here to bash someone like Paul Ryan (a “chamber of commerce” republican) seems jarring.

Business owner want to set wages. I know that, you know that just admit it. Maybe we need a cap on profits. Might as well go Marxist all the way, right commie?

THERE IN NO SUCH THING AS A LABOR SHORTAGE, ONLY A WAGE SHORTAGE. Mow your own damn grass.

Nope, I’m just as entitled to post here as you and central_va. You don’t like the truth? Don’t read the post.

Pretty soon we will have the new drive in door instead of the drive in window.

You get out of your car, go inside cook your own burger and fries, bag them and leave your money in a box.

People don’t want to work now, but deeper in the commie utopia, they will be forced to work doing jobs they hate
like it or not.

The lazy free stuff is just a carrot to lure a person in.

Not all small business owners are greedy brutes dreaming of 40’ Sea Rays and and endless supply of cheap labor but a lot are.

I have always wondered about you and your lost IT career.

Why bitch and moan?

Why not start your own business?

This is happening all over the US. No one wants to work when they can make $15-$20/hr doing absolutely nothing. We have over 600 locations nationwide and are running record OT hours right now, hourly wages are up 6% from a year ago and up 40% from 5 years and we just can’t find enough people. And the ones that do come in have very little incentive to work hard since they 1) know they will go back on UE and 2) there are 50 other jobs they can start at as well. Millions of folks, if not 8 digits, are currently out of the labor force that should be in the labor force.
