Steve D Posted May 12, 2021 Share Posted May 12, 2021 Right now in NY you can stay home and collect up to $800 a week. Mon, May 10, 2021, Joe Biden President Biden on Monday claimed that generous unemployment benefits are not incentivizing people to remain out-of-work, arguing that Americans would return to the workforce for a “decent wage,” but nevertheless said that the administration would take action to push would-be workers to accept job offers instead of staying home. “People will come back to work if they’re paid a decent wage,” Biden said in an address on the economy at the White House. “My expectation is that, as our economy comes back, these companies will provide fair wages and safe work environments. And if they do, they’ll find plenty of workers.” 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ApexerER Posted May 12, 2021 Share Posted May 12, 2021 I'm having a terrible time at work. I can't find anyone. I have hired a couple people i would have never hired in the past because i needed bodies and i regretted it. Found a good person that was here for 3 weeks and left for a better job with more money. Couldn't blame him. In Saratoga county there is a help wanted sign in every window and people are cutting business hours because they can't find help. I have given everyone that works here decent raises just to keep up with what other people are offering. Of course i have to pass those increases off too the consumer. It's hard to get someone to work for 15 bucks an hour when they can get 20 bucks sitting home doing nothing...... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grouse Posted May 12, 2021 Share Posted May 12, 2021 Yep, what Biden doesn't say, because he probably doesn't know is, prices of everything will skyrocket when people all get paid his "decent wage" so quality of live won't chance one bit and nobody will be better off. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nomad Posted May 13, 2021 Share Posted May 13, 2021 I’d end it today . Every place is screaming for workers , and if someone I hired when they needed a job , passed on coming back ,I’d be reporting them to the dept of labor . 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Real_TCIII Posted May 15, 2021 Share Posted May 15, 2021 Theyre going to have to dictate retails soon. Make you charge your customers enough to pay this "living wage". Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
