I doubt Delta is to blame. I suspect its more related to the free money the government is paying people to stay home.

At least United and American should share the blame.

Bingo.

“I suspect its more related to the free money the government is paying people to stay home.”

if you’re referring to the expanded unemployment or PUA programs. Those have ended and there hasn’t been much effort to extent them.

If it were the Delta variant causing hiring to slow down, there were NOT be signs at every restaurant, hotel, and grocery store you got to. Walmart would not be paying college tuition to get people to work.

Its a lot of free money. The so called stimulus Biden and the dems did in February, really has impacted the job market and inflation. Now we increased “food stamps” by 25%, and added $300/month/child payments from the government.

Stopping pipelines, and drilling has driven up price of gas by $1 a gallon.

WE are in the Jimmy Carter 2.0 era... maybe worse.

That's exactly what it is. I read job openings are at a record high.

What I'm not sure of is if they are high paying full time jobs, or part time "Obamacare jobs" without benefits.
