At this point employers are so desperate they are probably ready to give anybody a chance...

True, I think the clock is ticking for people who want to get a welcome back to work.

It actually reached its fever-peak last month, where I am, but there is still the welcome mat out for those wanting to work.

I tell folks, the time to get to work is Now, three weeks ago if you could manage it, but definitely Now is the time.

My company hired a twenty something Caucasian female a couple weeks ago. She showed up on her first day(Tuesday). On Weds & Thursday she called in to say she had a “family emergency”.
She showed up Friday. On Monday she again called in to say she could not make it in.

They let her go that morning.

One of the guys said she probably is just going to go back on unemployment again now that she worked for two days.
This is NH where the enhanced benefits ended in June.
Statewide unemployment rate is 2.5%.

Not necessarily.

The embargo on older white males is still in place. I'm still experiencing this while I'm trying to upgrade my current employment.
