I'm a bit surprised that we are getting new retail/dining coming to this area with our staffing issues. When I talk to franchise owners/managers, this is their #1 issue.
Calling it "staffing issues" is just a short way of saying "we don't want to pay what it costs to have people work for us". The "staffing issues" could go away immediately if they just increased what they were willing to pay their employees.

You certainly have to pay to have a quality workforce. Ultimately, the costs are burdened by the consumers anyway.
Yet there are a lot of people who are not working. Are they holding up for wages to go up before they apply?

Define the people that aren’t working. Boomers who took early retirement? Dual income households that decided to go single income for various reasons?

Birth rates have not kept up over the last decades to keep up with all the boomers that have or will be retiring in the next few years. IMO that the #1 reason why we have staff shortages with #2 being wages. All industries will be affected. The most critical will be first responders. Why should a first responder work in this state when they can make much more in other areas? We are a mobile society and those that can work will go where the money is and it isn't in SC.

I work for a great local manufacturing company, we train people well, promote from within, etc., Offer great wages, benefits, etc.
We can't find people, as in legit cannot find folks.
There will be a huge number of retirements within the next 1-3 years, same for many other local companies. Thus opportunities for advancement, many not requiring a degree and, again, which pay very well. Even with the impending recession, I foresee staffing shortages across any number of industries, going into 2024 and 2025.

how do they feel about college students? I might know of one looking for work.
It's almost like a bunch of people died and are no longer in the workforce...

Doesn't the aging baby boomer generation retiring in greater numbers have something to do with it?
