I’m sure this has already been brought up, but is it possible that restaurant workers have just moved onto jobs that better meet their needs? I don’t eat in restaurants at all, for reasons that are irrelevant to the discussion, but I haven’t noticed that other businesses are having a difficult time staffing. The garden center where my son worked in high school is fully staffed, maybe because they pay competitive wages and provide regular hours for even part-time employees. The restaurant industry doesn’t do generally do that.
It has. She ignores it because it doesn't fit her narrative.
Hi I live in Charleston SC area....and in 2014 restaurants were complaining they couldn't find staff for their restaurants.It has been a concern here for the last 7 years. As the economy bounces back -- it continues to be an ongoing problem..
Yep, the sky is falling. I keep telling myself that as I enjoy my life with none of the financial strains I read about from posters on the internet who are still butthurt over the results of the election. Gas is peanuts, good service at restaurants, assets are just fine. But you keep on keeping on.
LMAO at the deflection to the election results as it has zero to do with Sleepy Joe printing, borrowing, and handing out more free stuff than any President in history.

No it’s not possible. It’s all Biden’s fault. There is no other possible explanation and no other contributing circumstances. It will only get better when a Republican president is in office and it will be perfect if that president is trump. (first time emoji user).

So, in other words, NO states pay unemployment to underage teens who lost their jobs due to COVID.
Who could afford to live on $7.25/hr unless they were underage teens living with their parents?
Seems now that the $7.25 is not enough to attract a teen as a part time job. That wage doesn't cover transportation to and from work, uniforms, and other work-related expenses.
Do businesses require the entry-level employees to pay for uniforms - like the shirts, hats, etc? That's news to me. It certainly wasn't that way back in the early 80's when I was working different fast food/restaurant jobs.
Beyond that, it's laughable to claim "hygiene goods" since, in theory, they're taking showers anyway.
When the free stuff runs out soon, and the free stuff folks have to start paying rent, have their vehicles repossessed, etc..., they’ll be real happy to be making $13/hr. Until then they’ll sit on the couch and suck the teats of taxpayers.
Free stuff, blah, blah, blah. . . You know we paid the taxes that pay for everything called "the government" right? The government is us, the taxpayers.

In other words, a shortage, but no comparison to the numbers we’re seeing now
A shortage that 'endangers' the hospitality industry in 2014. I don't know about other areas -- but in this community it isn't 'worse' now it's just more of the same.
