It may not be the job you want, but it is a job. And Corrupt Creepy Joe is completely delusional if he thinks "We don't see much evidence of that," Biden told reporters during a White House press conference on Monday. "Americans want to work.". For an extra $300 on top of state unemployment is enough to keep people home. I wish I could be paid to stay home.

It's pretty telling of American businesses that people can make a living wage on unemployment but not at an actual job.

My wife was making $22 / hr on unemployment when she got laid off due to COVID. That is FAR more than a "living wage."

I don't blame them for doing it, too many businesses are looking for workers brother MSgt (Join to see)

SFC (Join to see) Some of them do, farmers are at the mercy of the people who buy from them so people can go to a store and pay 5-6 times what the grower is paid.

SFC (Join to see) - I think you're making an assumption that may not be true.
It's anecdotal evidence, and shouldn't be accepted as proof of a nation wide problem but one of my wife's relative is very vocal about the fact that the couple of hundred dollars more she would make by working isn't worth the trouble of getting ready for work and the 40+ hours of work + commute free-time she would have to give up.
Meanwhile the McDonald's in our area can't get fully staffed offering $14/hr to start and a raise to $15 after three months, immediate access to benefits, tuition assistance after 6 months, 7 days paid sick leave, and two weeks paid vacation after 1 year.
High school kids won't do yard work for less than $25/hr, And they are pissed/abusive that the elderly that used to hire them find it cheaper to buy a lawn tractor and do their own yard work.
Baby sitters want $20-$25 per hour per kid.
A kid whose parent won't let him have dogs, used to come play with my dogs for free. After doing this almost every weekday for 3 years, for fun and the love of dogs [I'd usually give him a $5 or $10], now demands $30/hr/dog for walking and playing with my dogs. He saw it in a movie. I'm not paying a kid $90 an hour to play with three dogs.
Some how, in my rural, high-unemployment area; low skilled entry level employees have gotten an overblown impression of what their labor is worth.

Watch who’s economy will recover the quickest. There are many signs here offering starting pay $10-15 per hour.
