Question

Where is everyone working at?

In: 6379

Answer 1

There is no labor shortage. It a shortage of people not willing to be exploited anymore.

If I go to every car dealership and say, “There are no cars available.” But the reason is I’m offering $5,000 for a new car. Is that really a car shortage? Or is it a dealership not willing to sell cars?

Obviously not. Collectively, workers are no longer putting up with low and unfair wages.

If employers offer $30+/hour, they will have a line of people trying to get the job.
