Hogan is a Trump hater. Do you really think that if it’s between being a Republican and giving handouts to blacks he’s gonna side with Trump?

That's on top of your regular unemployment.

You're getting anywhere from 12 to 20 bucks an hour, then.

The hiring “challenges” would evaporate if the govt. would stop sending people money to sit on their a$$ instead of looking for a job.

Most of the companies crying that there are no workers are fast-food and restaurants. Both which only offer, on average 20 to 24 hours a week with no benefits and no fixed schedule.

Try living on $150 to $174 a week…

I can’t wait until this welfare state crashes and burns.

It’s going to be worse than the fall of the Roman Empire.

The hiring challenges will evaporate once companies offer 40 hours a week with benefits.

Even at $15/hr, getting only 20 to 24 hours a week on average, while being forced to work a schedule which changes every week (open availability), means that only $300 to $360 a week possible. That doesn’t even pay rent in a vast majority of places.

You still think everyone is back in the 1970s, when these jobs were for higH school kids.

When those are the only jobs hiring in area are these low-wage menial labor jobs, that’s all you can get.

8.1 million menial labor jobs vs. 18 million still unemployed after the Covid lockdowns. A majority of those skilled white and blue collar workers from industries not yet still open.

You also forgot about vast numbers of Indian and Mexican workers taking skilled white and blue collar jobs, respectively.

Only jobs left for Americans are these menial labor jobs that foreigners don’t want

The employee shortage is so bad that long-haired, freaky people can now apply.
