Inflation here? gas/grocery prices just continue to climb

With "existing" being so pricey right now......how are so many places still looking for employees?

For a while, the grumbling was "they're paying people to stay home".......but there's no way people are still living off the $1,400 per person in a household that they may have gotten over a year ago, and the additional unemployment funds have long since dried up.
The old "I'll just pay on credit til things get better" thought process??
