I can’t walk into a store or restaurant without seeing a “Help Wanted” sign by the entrance.

And every one of them is a testimony to the mendacity of the Federal Government.

What is going to happen to our banking system as trillions of dollars worth of commercial real estate loans go bad?

It’s going to crash and you will never recover your money.
Vote for Biden, he’ll fix everything!

I scanned the article but did not catch a definition of “working age”.

Curious what that range is and if that range captures a whole bunch of early social security takers.

That's Great Depression level numbers.

How many able bodied people are being paid by the government to sit idle at home?
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
Many, but probably not as many as are being paid to sit on their arses in Washington filing their nails and chatting up their co-workers!

"I can’t walk into a store or restaurant without seeing a “Help Wanted” sign by the entrance."

Ain't that the truth.! Most of the stores and shops in our area hire them one day and fire them the next.!

The young folks have problems showing up on time, or just can't stay off the phone.. And their word ain't worth a nickle....

I have not retired, I am out of work, but I’m not gonna work in Indian wages. So I am one of those people listed outside the workforce. There are lots of us.

nope. those are easy to hire. they work cheap and tax/regulation free. I get 2 or 3 a week looking for work.

citizens? only with pie in the sky expectations (no, you will not be getting 4 weeks PTO on day one with full health insurance, 401k with 75% match and $40 an hour to take junk cars apart) do they apply.

Yes, but have you added up with that income actually means? With Biden, inflation, it’s not enough to pay for the gas, much less the rent.

“the wringer washer”

My grandmother had one and no dryer.

Days before permanent press clothing. Mega ironing.

She made her own bread, noodles and sausage. She did tons of canning. Great garden and a BBQ pit in the garage. She worked a 12-16 hour day everyday. That was in the 60’s!

It was a blast to hang out with her and help out!!!

First line contains the hyperbole that Snyder apparently cannot do without.

Stop with the Snyder. This guy’s a one-trick pony.

Our local mega-mart has cut back on the employee's hours. The people who were putting in forty hour weeks are now down to thirty-two.

Yes, they still have the "hiring" sign out, but they aren't.

I am an employer. It is very difficult for me and other companies like mine finding help in my field. The workers are few.

When you pay people to sit home, smoke weed, drink and jack off to video games instead of working, what did you expect they would do??

there are plenty of jobs, but no work ethic
