““Potentially showing some weakness” my a$$.....There’s nobody left to hire.”
Really? There are MILLIONS of people STILL out of work.
Armies of mildy disabled folks who could now FINALLy be hired. Able-bodied people with non-violent records, young people with crap college degrees that will will need a few years to get their minds right.
Remember the record number of people who went on “SS Disability during the Obung-hole years?
Close the damn border and put EVERY American back to work. Slash the ‘Disabilty” roles. Get the Food Stamp crowd WORKING.
Companies are sitting on record amounts of CASH.
Stop the BS buyback crap and TRAIN your workers.
Hire new folks and TRAIN THEM.
Build new plants in the US and hire more folks.
It’s a virtuous cycle.
More workers means more customers.
After people finished collecting their 102 weeks (almost two full years!) of unemployment payments, many of them went on SSI disability payments. Some retired after the two years. Lots of room for scams on the taxpayers.
Don't ask employers to train new workers for anything other than entry-level jobs. I've been in that position before, and we steered clear of that because there is no effective way to keep these people from going to work for your competitors.
AMEN to everything you say.
The one question you cannot legitimately answer is....How many of those “available” are WILLING to work. I can’t answer that either but my gut tells me a majority, perhaps the vast majority.
Your self righteous sanctimonious tirade ignores a fundamental fact about our culture in it’s present condition.....That we have turned into a welfare state and until laws are passed by Congress that make all benefits contigent on WORK, there will continue to be a significant % of people that will not work because they don’t have to.
This “condition” has been around for awhile but was reinforced and solidified during the 8 years of Obama.
I was being a tad facetious when I stated there was “nobody left to work” but there is more than a grain of truth in the comment. One simply has to drive down a Main St. in practically any town USA and see the “help wanted” signs.
