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.

You'd be surprised. In contract negotiations with a couple of companies, I've heard them grumble that nobody wants to work because of all of that stimulus money.

That's why I posted it. I find the notion that nobody is working, and that the unemployment numbers are inflated to be ridiculous.

Right now, in The People's Republic of Indianastan, the unemployment rate is 2.2%.

Of that 2.2% you'd have to believe that a big chunk of that is churn. People moving from one job to another. You'd also have to consider how many of them can't pass a drug screen. How many can't work ridiculous hours because they have children and child care is so expensive. You also have to consider that, if you're an employer, maybe nobody wants to work for YOU.

Too many people acting as managers who know nothing about it acting more like failing, cold war era, high school football coaches than managers. That act hasn't worked in a long time. If word gets out that you're a difficult employer, good luck to you.
