The government free handouts are the problem. When small and midsize business owners can’t fill positions in almost every single industry right now, that’s a free handout issue. You can try justify government’s horrible decisions over the past year if you want, but in reality it’s been horrible decision after horrible decision

15-20/hr mfg to start jobs with full benefits are not crappy. It’s a job where if you work hard, you can move up quickly and make a great life for yourself and your family. Yet, business owners right now can’t fill them.

I worked for a national franchise auto service company for years and still stay in touch with many of my owner buddies.
Auto mechanics can make $75,000-$80,000/year. Guess what? They can’t find enough guys who want to work, even as apprentices who’ll make $35,000-$40,000/year walking in and they will be trained. Free money with no hours is a huge issue.

Paying people to sit on their fat ass while the rest of us pay for it.
It’s going well.
