[QUOTE="Up In Smoke, post: 5345948, member: 79702"] We belong to the small business association in our area (250ish thousand residents) and the unemployment rate is currently 1.6%. Hundreds of small businesses have thousands of jobs listed and can't get people to even apply. We have raised starting wage, increased PTO, added paid lunch, paid attendance, paid community service hours, paid mental and physical hours. Just about anything we can think of and the story is the same, there are no people left. Our area covers three counties and we've talked with board members and they are servicing fewer residents than before 2020. It's like the earth just swallowed 5% of the residents. The Axios article wanted some personal info. [/QUOTE]
