Here’s what’s happening:
Parents are finding it exceedingly hard to juggle their jobs, provide child care and homeschool their children, as many public schools shut down in-classroom studies. Having to choose between working, searching for a job or taking care of their kids, many mothers elected to opt out of the job market.
Although millions of Americans have been vaccinated, there is still a palpable fear of catching Covid-19. People would rather not work than run the risk of catching and spreading the virus. In a survey of food-service workers, conducted by One Fair Wage and the Food Labor Research Center at the University of California, Berkeley, 75% of the respondents said low wages and tips was the impetus to quit their jobs during the pandemic.
It's reasonable that if employers need workers so badly, they should raise pay. This is also not happening. ADP chief economist Nela Richardson said, “The full sentence is 'I can't find workers at the wage I am willing to offer.' Full stop." Richardson contends that if you pay them well, "you can find workers."
While this is easy to say, for many companies, particularly mom-and-pop businesses, which represent a significant amount of jobs, they don’t have huge financial resources.
Hard to do...... but he DID IT!
