I honestly doubt that. I mean if an employer posts the same opening time and time again, never filling the position, chances are they did get an applicant who wanted more money OR they should have the good sense to know "If we raise the pay we should get more applicants"

For my case it was really more a principle issue. I was making that extra 8k/year at my previous job before I was let go -- and I definitely wasn't exactly spoiled there. It seems like this other place is trying to get away with as low a salary as possible.

You posture quite a bit.... but present nothing of substance. In fact, you target people ITT instead of offering intelligent critiques to the threads theme which shows you have no confidence in your abilities to successfully debate the topic.



I say this, because usually when people posture to the level you do, its because they have the intellect to back it up and use it. But your just rambling off about nonsense lol

Again... no-one said anything about the applying to, or the "quality of jobs", which your attempting to conflate with the OP of this thread. lol



The OP is an observation on the Micro and Macro economic and employment climate in the United States, at the current time.



























Bro, honestly, no disrespect, but your come off as a wildly tone-deaf and illiterate individual (even by MISC standards and there is actual spectrum disorders on the forum) lol. Which is ironic because it's what you're claiming others are ITT. Take a moment to look up "The Dunning Kruger Effect", as it describes you to the "t". SRS

Son, It is unfortunate you feel I provide no value SRS It's not so much to target people but the way some people express their situation or thoughts just demonstrates how subhuman they are and it is not always worth helping them and it needs to be acknowledged acting in this way is wrong SRS I believe I have more then a successful ability to debate any topic you'd like and we can make an entirely separate thread and we can let MISC decide SRS I am not sure what you're trying to communicate when speaking on how you believe I am posturing SRS like this isn't ergonomics LOL I ain't a physical therapist SRS there's always going to be people who make excuses and clearly he is talking about job prospects that would be what he would like to pursue and I mentioned that with exceptions it makes no sense his reasoning as to why he he should be able to earn more money when he feels he can't even get a basic job SRS anybody who is letting 8k stop them and using excuses like I basically don't want to try has ALREADY lost SRS it's pathetic and disgusting SRS. I also own plenty of books the reference dunning-kruger and way more advance stuff the your psuedointellectual psych 101 class comment and you're projecting your thoughts and beliefs so hard as if they're truth or your perception even matters to me.

Of course they're not competitive when you're competing with money for nothing. If the government is going to interfere, which it shouldn't, they should always work to increase productivity, never to decrease it.

brb employer says "hurr durr maybe we should just post the same opening again -- don't change anything!"

A few of the jobs I passed on I would have applied if it paid even a little bit better. I guess a lot of companies out there can't be assed to shell out an extra $8,000 per year to get a position filled. Companies don't want to be competitive in a competitive job market. I guess that's going to be the hill they die on.
Can’t speak for America but in australia businesses do this on purpose.

Corporations set unrealistic expectations for job applicants/ don’t train entry level positions and offer chit pay

Complain to the gov they can’t get workers

Gov bends over and let’s said corporations bring in foreign “skilled” workers then pay them half what they would an Australian

TBH I feel like the minimum wage should be $20/hour. Don't care if that shuts down the bars and restaurants that have been operating on razor thin margins. If you can't afford to pay your workers a living wage then maybe you're just a bad businessman?

Seriously, I couldn't imagine making 50k sitting at home getting paid not to work and not UPSKILLING and KNOWLEDGEMAXXXING this was a once in a life time opportunity to change your life and raise yourself out of your circumstances and mistakes and some people managed to FOOK it all up and that's probably why they're so rustled having to go back to MIN wage because they finally realize what it's like to live a life were you can afford to have a quality of life to be able to afford hobbies because you possess skills that are able to be leveraged in order to achieve what we desire while they are busy WAGECUCKING the most low tier jobs possible with no hope of escape or future those poor bastards SRS.

Honestly it's probably because if you train a person up they would leave ship not long after to go work for somebody else who pays more.

That's right we need indentured contracts again. If a company trains you up from nothing then it needs to be like the military: you can't legally leave for 2 years, 5 years or whatever it is so they have a chance to recover those training costs.

You're probably right, In the good ol' days you would have 5 year contracts and what have you and you would be motivated to do better and things like that and in some ways you had better job security because of it SRS. in some ways it's not bad though.

Wtf, 30-35k wage is amazing for a Mcdonalds job, suppose to be for college students and the like. I remember Mcdonalds paying 12k GBP in UK, which I guess is about $15k.

Teachers in UK get paid $30-35k.

Lol at expecting more than that for a Mcdonalds job, talk about entitlement.

Strong understand of economics. You want the businesses to increase their margin so they can pay low-skilled labourers more, who do you think pays for that increase in margin in the end?

brb, paying $20 for a beer.
brb, paying $20 for big mac.

hurr durr, minimum wage should be $50ph, if you can't grow your margins, you're ****e at business.

I keep seeing the same talking point repeated about "paying people not to work" but in reality it seems like a non-issue overall, like when sleepy joe biden was "coming for your hamburgers".

Just sounds like conservative NPCs echoing the same thing again. Most people will forget about it a year from now.

Yep and interest rates being as low as they are even means Biden's huge spending only hads something like $10-$50 billion in interest payments probs.

I know now prices of stuff is shooting upwards but people don't realize is production got hampered a lot by covid stuff and people more leisure time so they're buying houses / investing more too. Apparently it might even be construed as evidence to support a 30 hour work week because if people got more leisure time maybe the investment market booms?

Livable wage.

Lmfao

Let's pay low end jobs that don't require skill $70,000 a year. Hell, let's pay joe blow $50,000 + benefits, dental, vision and 401k matching for mopping the floor and taking the trash out.

Hell, I got a bum **** neighbor who works in the government as a fuking janitor clearing above $70,000. Supposedly he calls himself a Sanitation & Maintenance Engineer.

In the end, no such thing as free money let alone higher wages without some type of skill or sacrifice.
