You owe doorknobs everywhere an apology. Of course they are. They have a useful function.

I am a life long accounting person. I have prepared MANY payrolls & reports of same in over 60 years.

I cannot suggest strongly enough that EMPLOYERS fight against EVERY employee who refuses to return to work.

When you close your eyes really tight, it’s hard to see what’s right in front of you.
We have a winner!

A long time ago, Bush Senior got bashed for not knowing how much a gallon of milk costs. When's the last time you saw a picture of a national candidate reaching into their own pocket to pay for something on the campaign trail?

After all, we all saw the pictures of John Kasich eating pizza. Who actually paid for it, and left the tip?

Denial, but more likely, dementia idiocy.

Me or all those small business people who are telling us they cannot get their employees to come back to work?
———————
Hint. It’s mostly not small business people. Those businesses and jobs are gone for good. It’s really all the minimum wage part-time fast-food chain restaurants, retail and warehouse distribution companies that people really don’t want to work in the first place. They are the ones hurting for labor.

That is who I meant. I know a few of them personally. They are having a very hard time finding employees and for one that was shut down he cannot get some of his employees to return. They are making just as much sitting at home.

They are offering wages above the $15 level, in Texas, of all places, for entry level food service workers, with $1K in sign on bonuses.
————-
Crap jobs that only the dregs of society should be working. $1K bonus paid out in maybe a year. It’s the same scam as OTR carriers and CDL tuition reimbursement. $3000 to $5000 CDL school paid off $50 per every week…

Southern Ohio, Northern Ky, W.V... Restaurants, grocery stores and the beer joints all have help wanted signs hanging...

Great jobs for unskilled high school dropouts. Not so good for anyone with actual, um, experience, education, training or skills.

Places I see hiring around Denver are for either unskilled starter wage crap jobs, or jobs requiring a shit-ton of experience (skilled blue-collar)

The middle is not hiring.

So you are saying there is some evidence of that.

Anecdotally, managers at fast food outlets and dollar stores and similar establishments have reported staffers quitting (or simply not reporting to work) after each round of “stimulus” checks. Bob Newhart used to do a standup routine in which he recounted his time working at a Chicago unemployment office, handing out checks. The recipients received $15 less each week than he was paid, but they only had to turn up at the office once a week, while he had show up every day.

Every single service industry has signs, they can’t hire anyone.

Let me fix that:

Every single service industry that is hiring for unskilled starter jobs has signs, they can’t hire anyone.

———————

Skilled service industry workers are the ones who can find jobs and they are not willing to start over at the rock bottom.

Know lots of events guys (sound/lighting/media technicians and engineers and other skilled labor) still not being called back to work.
