Just went by the local independent auto repair place.
Big sign in front
HIRING MECHANICS $30/HR
Someone I know is sleeping in their car. They cannot find an IT gig. The Indian bodyshops were offering $25 per hour as a contractor, with no benefits.
I suggested that this guy look to see if Amtrak is hiring train crew for the Northeast Corridor. Better work environment + better pay + benefits + no Desi idiots to deal with.
