Time to start upping those salaries or sweetening the benifits.

That’s part of the dance of capitalism.

So, pay more to suck the detritus out of the scum at the bottom of the barrel. Is that your solution?

The photo shows a good looking gal working there. I say that is a benefit.

While inflation, IMO, is a real concern, how long has the American worker suffered with real declining wages? Remember when employers almost universally offered health care and many offered a pension?

Nowadays there may, possibly, be a bare bones “health plan” that is usually too expensive, and nobody offers a pension anymore. All that’s typically available is a 401(k) with some employer contribution, and many with no employer contribution.

And now you know why the Chamber of Commerce has been in a death struggle to import hoards of cheap labor.

I have had to argue with quite a few executives and almost all MBA's that your statement is true. The counter argument is "Well, why would I pay them more? We need to pay them less, or automate!" Or my favorite "We need more subsidies! YOU DON'T RAISE WAGES!!! THAT IS EXTORTION!"

Time for employers to stop with the H1B visa and other programs like it. Time for employers to stop looking to pay entry level wages to intermediate experienced employee and intermediate wages to senior experienced employees. Time to stop discrimination and nepotism in the workplace. Or in the case of the government stop giving the job to the person that pays for it before opening the job. I could go on and on. Like someone with 10 years experience but has been away for a certain period of time trying to reenter the workforce has a much harder time than an entry level worker getting the job. Time to syop people on linkedin from using self employed when in fact they are unemployed. So much that needs to stop. So much to list and so little time to do it in that has nothing to do with wages, laziness or collecting welfare. Time for people outside the country to stop lying on resumes, providing false references etc.
