They want cheap workers, not more.
Actually what they want to do is go to the government and cry “we can’t find work, please give us subsidies”
It’s why they come up with literally impossible job requirements like the “need 8 years job experience” for an entry level job.
I’m fairly certain that those kinds of positions are “offered” on the expectation that they won’t be filled so they can fill them with cheap foreign labor.
There has never been a labour shortage. There has always been a compensation shortage.
There is a labor shortage for unskilled labor (I hate that term). They want cheap labor, and those folks are not destroying their bodies for minimum wage. Good for them.
Businesses have a solution to such a shortage. I think it has to do with paying people more? Idk, been a while since I’ve seen anything like that.
They have begun to pay them more, but front-line management has an expectation that they need to produce more than what they were being paid for. Wages are stagnant for a decade and finally get a cost of living adjustment, but they want to work them like dogs.
Yeah. It’s all behind on the wage side but the business side isn’t seeing it that way. They think they’re owed something extra for the increase, while in reality they have failed to keep pace and should expect less and less because of that (including a labor shortage).
It’s almost like you read my comment.
“Nobody wants to wo-” Nobody wants to hire.
The struggle is real
Try that in a small town… no really try it… you may be able to work at McDonald’s if you know the right people.
God I love being a janitor
There’s a shortage of cheap labor. Lower your standard to slavery and suddenly there’s all the jobs in the world!
