Dimocrat policies strand nearly a half million shipping containers off California coast

[Harpy Eagle]

In the states where they ended the program unemployment went down.
For obvious reasons.

is that accurate? I have heard mixed stories about that. I will have to do some digging.

It was a GOP policy when Trump's CDC instituted it.

Not for the length of time that it took place. Many "red" states got rid of it early. They are faring much better in that regard but the coastal states who really need the drivers, especially in Cali they had it in there for so long that many drivers just retired.

as I told the poster above, I have heard this said many times, but never found any data to support it. I will have to dig more after work.

You idiot. They are being paid big bucks to sit home. Much more than they would make by working. None of them are in any hurry to get back to work.

Businesses are hiring all across the country. Lots of open jobs.

I do this for work....

Some Republican states that cut federal unemployment benefits early are recovering more quickly

States like Nebraska and Mississippi are closer to reaching pre-pandemic employment levels than others.

Hmmm must have a lot of Republicans working the docks.

No repukes live here. All are democrats.

Well then the workers must be imports, no Dim would work a manual demeaning job like the docks

What Democratic Party policy is keeping ships from being unloaded? There is no special UE benefits that are long term currently, yet there was during Trump and the ships did not get unloaded then in a fashion you demand.

then why do we have soamy who can't get into Port?

I guess you have no clue how the harbors work today.

Depending on which site you go by, the average longshoreman in Cali makes about 26 bucks an hour with good benefits thanks to unions. That is roughly 55 grand for the average annual salary. That seems pretty good for a job that requires very little skill other than the willingness to work hard

Longshoremen don't work that hard anymore. They operate cranes and forklifts, they don't carry stuff anymore.

Dimocrats are the ones who continually work to keep workers away from the work place.

Remember when Dimocrat lawmakers were talking about using the Covid crisis to get the wishlist agenda through?
By continually keeping the Covid unemployment benefits going, it's forced employers to increase wages in order to coax people away from their Lazyboy recliners.
This was the plan all along.

I never let anyone stand in my way to exist in the USA, if there is a will, and a body that is capable, they will find a way.

Cranes have political opinions also.

More than a clue, and especially about work in general.

if you do this for work you should now that July is too early to get a good data set.

It’s less about data set and more about speaking with my clients directly

well, since I cannot speak to your clients, I will stick to what I know, data.

Digging around with it now.

To your point data will lag but clients in NC, SC and Fla aren't having the same issues as my clients in MA, NY and NH.

True, they will....but I will always choose data over anecdotal stories.

Also, interesting that NH is not having the same issues as the others since they cut the extra benefits on June 16th and NC let them run their course

Issue with NH is finding workers. Cost of living is relatively cheap and workers collected a good amount during the Govt handouts so they are taking time off. So weird. So my clients have to hire temps, which costs a lot more. Part of the issue is that unemployment and lack of rent requirements was so lucrative that many saved a lot of $$. Additionally lack of truck drivers exacerbates supply chain issues.

Supply chain issues force creative solutions for companies like Fastenal, Donaldson

Fastenal said Tuesday its quarterly profit went up 10%, but the factory supplier had to scramble to get equipment and hardware to their customers.

It is almost as if ending the extra money had no effect at all.
