Employers can’t find the workers... at the price they’re willing to pay.
“Employers can’t find the workers... at the price they’re willing to pay.”
Actually it isn’t up to the employer as far as what they pay employees. It IS for them to decide what hey want to pay but the actual wages they will pay will be determined by the market in their particular area.
Those who want to pay $30,000 for a position paying $40,000 in their local will simply not get anyone to work for them, or if they do it will be someone under or unqualified for the position.
