Plenty of jobs..but still hard to find work?

Then I will not accuse of such vile things as calling you a Republican again!

Unemployment compensation and other like kind doles should cease immediately. Part of the destruction of self sufficient independent businesses is giving out money encouraging people to not work

I agree that it should stop, and it has for the most part. Interestingly I saw a study last week and those state that cut the Fed UE money saw a smaller increase in jobs than those that kept giving it out.

It is a vicious cycle

Actually, J & J vaccine just reported ...said with their vaccine, you are nearly 8 times less likely to catch covid, than an unvaccinated person, and 9 times less likely to get severe covid, needing hospitalization ...than an unvaccinated person.

If this is true, then there are very good reasons for an employer to want a new hire to be vaccinated or willing to be, in the future, that hit their bottom line...like...

-A healthy and safer workforce, not interrupted by employee sickness and quarantine. Sicktime, costs money, workforce shortage cost money.

-Group health insurance policies is a big employer expense, and the policy price depends on the likelihood of your employees being healthy or sick etc. as part of the insurance company's formula for pricing.... All vaccinated employees, vs mostly vaccinated employees vs mostly unvaccinated employees will be a factor.... And if you end up with a sickly year of insurance claims, the following year, their group plan price goes up.

Even if with delta variant being out there for a longer period of time and the numbers for protection percentages goes down, to only 5 times less likely to catch covid than an unvaccinated person, or only 3 times less likely.. the vaccinated person (or those protected through already having the virus) is still less likely to be infected, costing the employer less than an unvaccinated employee.

My husband got J and J last month, it caused two incidents of uncontrolled bleeding within a week of getting the shot. Once on his thigh where he just itched a spot lightly, and once on his ankle where he did nothing---just gushed out blood.

It's weird paradox...employers are screaming that they can't find workers...and workers are moaning that they can't get a good job?

Why everybody’s hiring but nobody’s getting hired

Everyone is hiring. So why is finding a job still impossible?

There’s no single party to blame here. Corporate hiring practices can be convoluted and too reliant on machines, and many applicants aren’t being realistic or strategic enough in their work search efforts. For employers, job seekers, and the American economy in general, it’s worth figuring out what’s going on and addressing it. Because although these trends have been exacerbated by the pandemic, many of them pre-date it, and they’re not going away.
Essentially anywhere you go in the United States right now, you’re going to encounter “help wanted” signs. But just because a bar or restaurant or gas station wants a worker doesn’t mean a worker wants to work for them. The millions of jobs available aren’t necessarily millions of jobs people want.
“A lot of what people are seeing are low-paying jobs with unpredictable or not-worker-friendly scheduling practices, that don’t come with benefits, don’t come with long-term stability,” Shelly Steward, director of the Future of Work Initiative at the Aspen Institute, told Recode. “And those are not the types of jobs that any worker is eager to take on.”
A survey of workers actively searching for a job on FlexJobs, a jobs website that focuses on remote and flexible work, found that about half of job seekers said they were not finding the right jobs to apply for. Some 46 percent of respondents said they were only finding jobs that are low-paying, while 41 percent said there weren’t enough openings in their preferred profession.

This is mostly the fault of one party who has tried their very best to bring us socialism. With millions of job openings the socialists are more than content with paying people to just stay home and not work, leaving the US economy to hang in the balance.
