As U.S. employers’ search for hires increases in urgency—especially in the manufacturing, logistics, healthcare and food-service industries—truck drivers, hotel cleaners and warehouse workers are being offered signing bonuses of hundreds and even thousands of dollars.
Nearly 20% of all jobs posted on job search site ZipRecruiter in June offer a signing bonus, up from 2% of jobs advertised on the job search site in March... Job postings across sectors show that a $1,000 hiring bonus is quickly becoming table stakes in recruiting hourly workers who make between $16.50 and $25 an hour. The $1,000 hiring bonus is advertised on jobs listed for apartment-complex groundskeepers in Texas, movers in Florida, cabinet makers in Georgia, housekeepers in Wisconsin, pool cleaners in New Mexico and welders in Ohio, among others.
Examples in the article include:
Pilgrim’s Pride (poultry processor): $1,500 signing bonus
Harrison Poultry: $2,500 signing bonus (paid out over a year)
Burger King: $1,500 hiring bonus at one location in Latrobe, PA
A Charlotte pest-control job: $1,200 bonus.
A Gulfport diesel mechanic: $1,500 bonus.
A forklift operator job in Gainesville, Ga.: $2,000 bonus.
i can’t see how a hiring “bonus” would made a speck of difference in the alleged worker “shortage.”
The real shortage is a slave-labor mentality which workers wised up to over the Pandemic.
Now corporations and bosses are crying, and maybe having to do some of the [gulp!] work themselves.
Cough up a living hourly wage and cut back on your luxury spending to cover it, O Captains of Industry.
I love that term living wage .like whatever it is supposed to mean ..no one ever guaranteed a minimum wage worker should be able to afford to live on their own and not golden girl style …sorry but no such thing

And who guaranteed that there would always be a supply of people settling for Golden Girl lifestyles by spending hours working for someone else's profit?
I guess the human way of having more children and depending upon the government to close schools for months so they can labor for the family profit has also passed
well ,those who are working in comparable jobs,may jump ship to get the bonus,2K IS good money.
Many CMG workers are jumping ship to work for restaurants,higher pay plus tips and less stressful
if the pay is the same,jumping ship would net you $1-2K and you can put it in the bank,remember they said most American household do not have $400 savings,now THEY DO,

Makes sense the USPS which gave up the golden eggs of federal benefits found with a dead goose they can't handle extra volume because what they now call "pre career" will take the bonus from Amazon and spend their pre career time earning a bonus plus comparable wages.

Human nature guarantees that supply as people make what they have work even if they hate the lifestyle choices it buys them.
Employees are in the drivers seat at the moment but once people are forced back to work when their unemployment ends it will be the usual employers market again
