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

Business owners try and save a buck on labor. Then the cheapskates whine about how nobody wants to work. I hope their businesses struggle if that's their attitude.

Right wingers only believe in Capitalism for the Rich not the Poor.

From 1978 to 2018, CEO compensation grew by 1,007.5% (940.3% under the options-realized measure), far outstripping S&P stock market growth (706.7%) and the wage growth of very high earners (339.2%). In contrast, wages for the typical worker grew by just 11.9%.
 
Yeah an average worker isn't going to get ahead if they work 80 hours per week. Hard fact.

Entry level jobs do not deserve high wages. The idea here is, you get in, you work your way up to higher wages. Along the way, you improve your own marketability through education and experience. The wages will be there once you have made the necessary self-improvements.

You guys want it handed to you, and if it's not there, you're content to sit at home on your asses and milk the taxpayers.
 
I'm retired there little thinker. Bi did my sentence I served my time in the god AWFUL terrible american rat race. Been collecting social security for over 26 years. You poor suckers stuck working every day thinking this is all great are clueless.
 
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.
All right wingers prove is their hypocrisy regarding being illegal to the law.
And you have continually failed to prove your point.
 
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.
Now you understand why the majestic equality of the law is important.

“The law, in its majestic equality, forbids rich and poor alike to sleep under bridges, to beg in the streets, and to steal their bread.”

― Anatole France
IOW, what you want is illegal.

And workers try to do as little as possible to get as much as possible. How is that any different?
 
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.
Walmart made $15 billion profit last year.
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.

welcome to xiden harris and the dems america.
Meanwhile Dotard had to hire 70 foreign workers.
November 3 2017

President Trump's Mar a Lago resort has been granted 70 visas to bring in foreign workers for the winter season, The Palm Beach Post reports.
That’s a 9 percent increase from last year, when Mar-a-Lago hired 64 workers under the H-2B visa program.
The new visas will go to 20 foreign cooks, 35 waiters and 15 maids and housekeepers for the 2017-18 tourist season, according to the U.S. Department of Labor. They’ll earn hourly wages from $10.33 (for the cleaners) to $13.34 (for the cooks). The temporary visas allow them to work from October 2017 to the end of May 2018.

Who can live on that?

Job openings leaped above 8 million in March, a new high​

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.



That is impossible....

The real truth is -- since Biden has been in office -- we have lost 70 billion jobs....

Dotard ran this country into the ground, like he did his companies.

How did he open it if he didn't first shut it down?? :cuckoo:

You must think someone forged his signature because here's his Executive Order shutting down and restricting non-essential businesses in the sate of Florida.


WHEREAS, on March 16, 2020, President Donald J. Trump and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention ("CDC") issued the "15 Days to Slow the Spread" guidance advising individuals to adopt far-reaching social distancing measures, such as avoiding gatherings of more than 10 people, and in states with evidence of community spread, recommending restrictions to certain establishments conducive to mass gatherings and congregations;

B. In concert with the efforts of President Trump and the White House Corona virus Task Force to fight COVID-19, and based on guidance provided by Florida Surgeon General and State Health Officer, Dr. Scott Rivkees, all persons in Florida shall limit their movements and personal interactions outside of their home to only those necessary to obtain or provide essential services or conduct essential activities.

Of course he shut it down for a short period of time, then left it up to localities.

You are comparing a short time frame, to the massive long unnecessary, shut downs by NY, Cali etc that ignored the science.

Come on MAN....geez...

You will go to any lengths to ignore reality, deflect and defend you leftist Dear Leaders
