I remember a time back in the late 70's when our first Burger King opened in Owosso. Unemployment was up around 12% in the state of Michigan. When the BK advertised in the local newspaper that they were going to be hiring about 40 people, the next day there was a line of people nearly two blocks long, waiting just to fill out an application. And these people came from not just the local area, but they came from Flint, Saginaw, and as far away as Lansing, which is about 40 miles away. Just to fill out an application for a minimum wage job, which was about $3.65 per hour, IIRC.
Today, people see no need to work when the government is giving out so much free stuff that it actually penalizes you to work.

I did also see an article kinda recently that threw a different idea out there and it's that fast food is seeing increased competition over the same labor pool from the explosion of warehouse jobs around the country. I think I saw where Amazon is hiring something like 80,000 more warehouse workers by the end of the year? A lot of other companies are ramping that up too. Working in an Amazon warehouse doesn't really require any more education than being a fast food worker, yet the job typically carries a much higher salary, better benefits, and you don't have to deal with the public at all. Not that it's a cushy job. Anyway, that isn't more important than the unemployment benefits factor, but I thought it was a reasonable additional cause for the lower-income worker shortage.Last edited by Dr. Strangelove; May 21, 2021, 09:16 AM.

Mission to CFB's National Championship accomplished. But the shine on the NC Trophy is embarrassingly wearing off. It's M B-Ball ..... or hockey or volley ball or name your college sport favorite time ...... until next year.
