Job openings now hit record high of over 8 million yet we are paying people to stay home and sit on their ass

[DigitalDrifter]

Job openings popped to a record high in March as employers struggled to find workers to fill those positions, the Labor Department reported Tuesday

Pay them more. Problem solved.

And this is the Dimocrat plan. Create an ARTIFICIAL labor shortage, and force employers to pay much higher wages.

Your biased comments are nothing more than an echo of the propaganda. There are a number of reasons employers are not able to hire the unemployed. It's been explained many times over and one needs to live in a cave to not recognize these to four:

• no increase in the minimum wage
• no benefits
• no child care
• fear of the virus

Fake wrycatcher

Fear of the virus for some of it, the rest have no motivation to find a job as long as your party continues to pay them to stay at home on their ass.

Fucking Dimocrats are working overtime to addict as many Americans as possible to government handouts. These people should be kicked to the curb!!!

Job openings popped to a record high in March as employers struggled to find workers to fill those positions, the Labor Department reported Tuesday.

Even as help wanted jumped from February by 597,000, or 8%, to 8.12 million, hires rose just 215,000, or 3.7%, to slightly more than 6 million.




Total separations declined, falling by 107,000 to 5.32 million.

The total number of employment opportunities set a new standard for the Job Openings and Labor Turnover Survey, which goes back to December 2000.

The report comes amid growing concerns about employers being able to find enough workers to fill openings, which in turn could make the economic recovery slower than anticipated.

The number of available jobs jumped to a new high in March, even as employers sought workers to fill those posts.

Why would I want to go get a job?

As long as the feds continue to pay you to stay home, you'll never "want" to get a job. Take away the government hammock, and you'll suddenly "want" a job.

 

[hadit]

We'll all be paying more for all goods and services, that's what we are "going to do now".

Or the wealthy take a little more or a haircut because they can’t pay people like trash anymore.

Nope, everyone will pay more. That's the way it works because we don't ask how much is in your bank account when we charge you for goods and services. And, BTW, the wealthy will notice price increases a whole lot less than will the people on the bottom rung.

Or, again, the business owners take a little less profit and economic inequality starts to finally slide from its current astronomical levels.

Right-wingers don't care about capitalism when their socialism on a national and international basis will do; regardless of their free market Capitalism rhetoric they profess in socialism threads.

Labor must be able to afford our first world economy. If right wingers merely complain that the Poor don't pay their share of taxes, then we should raise the minimum wage until even the Poor pay their share of the tax burden and in creating more demand. Higher paid labor generates more tax revenue and creates more demand. Some on the left are advocating for more efficient use of Government to promote and provide for the general welfare, along with the common defense.

Do you pay the workers in your horse shoeing business a living wage? Just asking from the real world, where things move forward and low skilled jobs vanish.

But who was for bringing back low skilled elec assembly and textile jobs from Asia? Let's not just go full Men in Black amnesia here.

There is no reason service jobs like convenience store cash register jobs don't include healthcare. We may not want to pay prices that would let biz pay $15/hr. I don't. But we can demand society offer solvent soc sec, medicare, healthcare vouchers and "free" communtiy college for those who show passing grades.

The consumer is in the driver's seat. If Americans insisted they would pay more and only buy "American made", that's what we would see on the shelves. Anyone who thinks low skilled, low education manufacturing jobs will return to the US is not in today's world. Whatever manufacturing we do will be automated because it's cheaper to do it that way and you get a better product. And yes, there is a reason low skilled, low education jobs don't include healthcare, the consumer doesn't want to pay the premium price. Nothing is free, someone always has to pay for it.

 

[initforme]

With that many job openings the ones that pay the most will get filled. The others? Who cares? Workers aren't going to work for a low wage.

 

[hadit]

So you expect a profitable business to lose profits when they can raise prices to maintain profitability? Sounds like a Wal-Mart situation, where a major player is keeping prices down. Of course, we can't have that either.

Raising prices isn’t always an option. Market forces say that prices should always optimize themselves based on demand. If a business can raise prices without affecting demand, they should do so regardless of labor costs.

In this case, we have Wal-Mart that sets the bottom price for most goods. Unless a business has a differentiating factor like superior customer service or higher quality goods, they can't go much higher than Wal-Mart, which means labor costs can't rise very far.

Higher quality goods than Walmart? How is they possible?

Labor costs eat into profits. How much do you think that steak really costs?

Possible? Try highly likely. One way Wal-Mart offers the lowest price is by buying only the absolute cheapest (read crappies) goods they can. As for how much a steak costs, what are you talking about, the one you get from Wal-Mart or the one from the boutique steak house? Because they are actually different steaks.

Yes, possibly the dumbest stimulus in the history of the United States.

Equal protection of the law is an entitlement under our Constitutional form of Government.

We had an entire thread on this where we showed you how you were wrong. As predicted, you learned nothing.

We had an entire thread where y'all had nothing but fallacy, but still insist on being Right, simply because y'all are on the right wing.

You're living a fantasy because you were given sources, cites, and evidence that you totally ignored in favor of your repetitive regurgitating of your pointless slogans. You got spanked, and thoroughly. Now you're back just like I predicted with the exact same nonsense, just like I predicted. In less predictable news, the sun shown on the Sahara desert today. I know what you're going to say, you're going to claim that at-will employment law rules unemployment compensation law and it's somehow unfair that you can't get UC to pay you for not working. We've been through that, you were wrong the entire time, and you're still wrong, so just give it up already.

I prefer to solve simple poverty on an at-will basis and in that market friendly manner, in our at-will employment States. How automatically stabilizing is that?

You prefer your fantasy life to reality.

 

[hadit]

The government is actually taking money from working people and giving it to the non-working people. That's Marxism and it never goes very well.

Quit and go on unemployment if you don't have the fortitude to work and pay taxes.

And there's your fantasy at work. You CAN'T "quit and go on unemployment" because they won't let you. You could maybe quit and go on welfare, but that's about it.

 

[hadit]

And that's why jobs get shipped overseas.

Walmart made $15 billion profit last year.

Then ship them overseas. You want americans working for the same wages overseas workers get? I say double them to start. Then they will be filled.

yep....folks weren't scared to go shopping at wal-mart last year. They also benefitted from the fact lib Govs wouldn't let small business restaurants to open...so folks were forced to shop at the big box stores.

Yup, it's a business model that works well for them.

Underpaying workers? Sure. It’ll work fine if they pay their workers slightly more too.

Slightly? Last I heard, you want to double their pay. You can't expect to do that without some serious effects.
