It's still a pretty hot job market with wages on the uptick. I'd imagine the kind of business that puts up a help wanted sign is also on the lower end of the pay scale.

Wouldn't that mean that there's an excess of jobs therefore it make sense more people have jobs?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You see "help wanted" for minimum wage jobs. In any city in America, a minimum wage job doesn't even come close to being able to pay rent and eat (especially if you have kids), so what's the point. If you have other options available, people just don't want to do any of those jobs. Right now, a lot of people have options. "We can never find good help!" "Have you tried paying your employees more?" "If I paid my employees a living wage, I would be out of business!" ".... well, maybe you shouldn't be in business, then." The wonders of capitalism. The owner class gets protected at all costs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
