Good to hear retail is soul sucking work and I'm not talking about the Teanna Trump kind.

Gotta have a lifeplan before you finish HS....otherwise this is the path for a majority of people...

They should have some kind of financial aid or grants they can apply for depending on what they are going for....

Point is, all this should have been thought about in your teens, not at 20+....

That easy huh? Just pull yourself up by the bootstraps?

And all are understaffed because of wages, fullstop.
I was listening to an economics podcast where they talked about how these companies were working round the clock to figure out some way to get more people to want to work for them



pay them more maybe?

Restaurateurs often turn to Craigslist to find workers, but lately, there hasn’t been sufficient response to meet rising demand, he said.

“Since reopening back to 75% and 100%, we’ve really had difficulty,” Dissen said. “I put ads out almost every day.”

As the industry continues to battle increased worker shortages, Dissen has turned to GigPro, an on-demand hiring app, to fill temporary needs, such as line cooks or dishwashers.

“It has really been just amazing for our business [in Charlotte] to be able to fill the gaps when we need it,” he said.

Managers may offer higher pay for last-minute workers. For example, if a dishwasher’s typical hourly rate is in the $15 per hour range, they may offer to pay $20 per hour on GigPro, Dissen said.

“I’ve literally filled gigs at our restaurant within 5 minutes of posting,” he said.

The app also allows managers and workers to try a shift together before taking the plunge with employment, said Bolus, who has hired a handful of staff from the app.

“They’ve got a chance to shine or they’ve got a chance to leave,” he said.

higher pay has always been the solution.

Then they should go to school and have a strong major or do a trade. Ain't nobody stopping them....

Bootstrap Propaganda. If a business can't pay a livable wage it shouldn't exist. Period.

Damn. This is what it took for them to realize they were working dead end jobs?

Amazing that we didn't need to graduate from Harvard or Yale to figure this out

This thread aint about them tho. Its about the companies being unable to hire anyone to replace them.

Biden’s immigration policy makes sense now

What policy would that be? I have a sneaky feeling you've done 0 research on this

Capitalism, despite its many benefits, has increasingly pushed for greater returns at the expense of the working class.

Pay them more.
