[pknopp]

Today kids working on a farm is kids working for large corporations.

Children illegally working

That's sad....i noticed all the links were from 2022 and 2023....and mainly dealing with illegals....welcome to Xiden's America

Not sure where you live, but where I live none of the farms are "large corporations" They are family owned and operated.

In fact, your post is simply an out right lie.....now, my guess is you are merely parroting some Dembot propagandist that you heard from MSDNC...but it's not hte facts: 2021 USDA Report Finds 98% of Farms are Still Family Owned - Protect The Harvest

In 2020, family farms accounted for 98% of total farms and 87% of total production. 89% of those farms were small family farms

/----/ I agree with you, but states across the country have the same dismal reading scores, some worse. It's what happens when schools are shut down for the fake Covid scam, and taught via ZOOM.

Agreed, between perv Democrats preying on kids when they ARE in school and the authoritarian socialists keeping kids out of school, Democrats have been doing their best to completely screw kids over (figuratively and literally).

A couple of places can't find a worker or two and we somehow have some kind of fake labor shortage. What a joke. Not every job needs to be filled.

Thanks to AI they won't be.

If you say so.

Farms aren't feeding the country with the kids of farmers.

Thanks to AI they won't be.

/----/ I heard a commentator say robots are replacing blue-collar workers, and AI is replacing white-collar workers. So I asked ChatGPT will AI replace white-collar workers. Here's the reply:

AI has the potential to automate certain tasks and processes traditionally performed by white-collar workers. While it is true that AI can streamline operations and increase efficiency in many industries, the complete replacement of white-collar workers by AI is unlikely. Instead, AI is more likely to augment human capabilities and change the nature of work in several ways:

1. Automation of repetitive tasks: AI can automate routine and repetitive tasks, such as data entry, basic analysis, and document processing. This automation frees up time for white-collar workers to focus on more complex and strategic activities.
2. Data analysis and decision-making support: AI can process and analyze vast amounts of data quickly, enabling it to provide insights and recommendations to human workers. This can enhance decision-making processes and improve overall productivity.
3. Customer service and support: AI-powered chatbots and virtual assistants can handle basic customer inquiries, allowing human workers to focus on more complex and specialized customer needs.
4. Intelligent assistants and productivity tools: AI can act as a virtual assistant, helping professionals manage their schedules, organize information, and perform tasks more efficiently.
5. Predictive analytics and forecasting: AI algorithms can analyze historical data, identify patterns, and make predictions. This capability can aid in financial forecasting, market analysis, and strategic planning.
6. Risk management and compliance: AI can assist in monitoring and detecting anomalies in large datasets, aiding in risk management and compliance efforts in industries such as finance and healthcare.
7. Creativity and innovation support: While AI may not possess human-like creativity, it can generate ideas, assist in brainstorming sessions, and provide suggestions for innovative solutions.

It's important to note that AI is more likely to complement white-collar workers rather than entirely replace them. The human element remains crucial in areas requiring emotional intelligence, complex problem-solving, critical thinking, empathy, adaptability, and creativity. The integration of AI with human skills can lead to more efficient and productive work environments.

MADISON, Wis. (AP) — Lawmakers in several states are embracing legislation to let children work in more hazardous occupations, for more hours on school nights and in expanded roles, including serving alcohol in bars and restaurants as young as 14.

The efforts to significantly roll back labor rules are largely led by Republican lawmakers to address worker shortages and, in some cases, run afoul of federal regulations.

Child welfare advocates worry the measures represent a coordinated push to scale back hard-won protections for minors.

“The consequences are potentially disastrous,” said Reid Maki, director of the Child Labor Coalition, which advocates against exploitative labor policies. “You can’t balance a perceived labor shortage on the backs of teen workers.”

Lawmakers proposed loosening child labor laws in at least 10 states over the past two years, according to a report published last month by the left-leaning Economic Policy Institute. Some bills became law, while others were withdrawn or vetoed.

Legislators in Wisconsin, Ohio and Iowa are actively considering relaxing child labor laws to address worker shortages, which are driving up wages and contributing to inflation. Employers have struggled to fill open positions after a spike in retirements, deaths and illnesses from COVID-19, decreases in legal immigration and other factors.

The job market is one of the tightest since World War II, with the unemployment rate at 3.4% — the lowest in 54 years.

Sounds sad to me! What do you think?

democrats work against the system by paying and encouraging people to not work, causing the labor shortage.

 

[struth]

If you say so.

I know they aren't. They are feeding it with farmers, not child labor. Thanks.

Job training is always good. People have to learn sometime how to bring home the bacon.

All one needs to do is visit the grocery market.

 

[Moonglow]

I would not let my kids work a job when in school.

Good then we won't have to listen to bad employers tell us how they can't find workers.

People are working. Bad employers are being avoided, a good thing. Not all jobs need filling anyway.

The problem, these people want to retire early, they don't want immigrants. Who do they think will be doing the jobs?

 

[initforme]

People retiring early has zero bad effects on the economy

no actually people aren’t working, in particular younger people. The labor participation rate is horrible.

It is higher now than it was most of our history.

"The efforts to significantly roll back labor rules are largely led by Republican lawmakers to address worker shortages and, in some cases, run afoul of federal regulations."

"The job market is one of the tightest since World War II, with the unemployment rate at 3.4% — the lowest in 54 years."



So, there's worker shortages but the lowest unemployment rate in 50 years?
