Nope, that has nothing to do with it. Bottom line, many jobs where Fedex needs help were second or even third jobs for many people. Now that our commie infested government has destroyed the entertainment industry, the restaurant industry, retail shopping and on and on people have decided they don't need the extra money. If you are forced to stay at home it's surprising how much less money you need.
Bottom line: Many many Americans have been living a lifestyle of excess. Not that it was bad at all. They wanted stuff so they worked a second job or extra overtime hours or whatever because they wanted stuff. Well our commie government ruined the fun for everybody and Americans are now living a MUCH more frugal lifestyle. Additionally people that lost jobs during the lock downs have found another way to earn a living. Gig jobs are everywhere and there has never been an easier time to be self employed. Why work at the Target electronics counter when you can work for yourself? Why put up with employer mask mandates and vaccine mandates when you can work for yourself and make your own rules.
Fedex better start thinking of how they are going to stay afloat with far less employees and far higher wage requirements. These big corporations signed on to fascism now they can live with it and it's going to be a LOT harder in the US because there are many other ways to earn a living.
The Help Wanted signs are not going away anytime soon.
It is not just FedEx though. Take a peek into any service sector and you will find the same thing. One major shopping complex voted best shopping district in America in 2019, has stores cutting hours to 11-7 during the week!
Look around at restaurant ...again some actually closing during the week
Even my tiny sector of pet sitting, we are seeing a boom...but cannot find team members and that caps our business growth. Applicants are bottom of the barrel too. And we cannot hire them as many are not passing the background checks.
