If the stupid employers want employees, pay more money. This is not complex.

The people getting “free” money will pay for it in inflation.

This historically elevated level makes clear that we have a severe worker shortage that threatens what should be a prolonged economic boom,”

Translation: Businesses refuse to raise wages and are throwing a temper tantrum.

Left out: Are they hiring.

Prices surge to record highs. Demand tanking.
Desperate urgency to “covid”-mark registrations.

Monthly checks going out now for the “advanced” child tax credit. Folks are still staying home instead of going back to work!

There is more to a job than just money, but if you aren’t paying enough for people doing a “dirty” job, you won’t get employees. If you charge enough to cover those employee expenses, you may lose business.
A hard thing to balance.
Most people want to be wanted, it is
a social thing. Trick is to make them useful
for the lowest cost possible.
That is an art that many successful employers
have learned.
Government is not very successful. Military used to be
but that seems to be fading.
My solution, brutal, but it will work.
Grab a parachute and jump out of the plane, watch it crash and then build another one. Pray for the stupid people that stayed aboard, but make sure you never have to suffer with them again.

Another problem is age discrimination.
What brought the majority of these
companies to the successful level
they try to maintain were us ‘old folks’.
My generation was taught “take money
from the man, you ride for the brand”.
We were on time, no excuses, hit that
deadline. We worked above and beyond
what was asked of us. That drive and
sentiment is gone from today’s
workforce. Hell, the government will
bail us out if we hit a rough spot.
We never relied on such drivel.
Got two kids, like buzzards on tree
limb, waiting for me and mom to croak,
I’m being a bit off hand here.
I’ve picked walnuts, dug potatoes,
hung sheetrock, raced snowmobiles,
(crashed, got hurt, went to school)
100% paid by me....
46 years later...I’m retired.
Perfectly willing to go back to
work if I’m paid what I’m worth.
Not too many employers today want
to pay that price....like I did.
