I’ve been trying to figure this out myself. Fast food places near me can’t keep/find reliable workers. The economist in me says “raise wages”, but even that seems to have limited impact. Is it because they have other resources to fall back on if they don’t work (e.g., unemployment comp, parents, etc) or is it they’ve bought into the Socialists ideal that the gov’t should provide equally to all people. Personally, I think is a (bad) blend of both. It used to be that if you were on welfare or unemployment comp, the social stigma was such the you worked to get out of that stigma. Today, people seem to think the gov’t owes them. I don’t have a socially acceptable answer.
I have a friend who’s daughter has the exact opposite problem, she’s far too fastidious.
She’s also painfully shy. Her parents are afraid to let her out because she’s so naive that she’ll get taken in by any scammer. In a way, she might need to get burned a bit to learn.
But to the fastidious perfectionist part, she was considering doing house cleaning. We had her do our house as a test. She spent far too many hours on it. We just needed a cleaned room not a clean room surgical suite.
I found out yesterday that she did take on a neighbor as a house cleaning client. It might help teach her that there’s such a thing as good enough.

Fixed it.
