Life's Worth More Than That
-
We've been talking about this in several ways for months, but this is another way to look at the alleged "labor shortage," from the perspective of retail workers, who are quitting and going for higher-paying jobs. The bottom like for them: retail jobs aren't worth the low pay The pandemic pushed them to quit and restart their careers. And that leaves everyone with the prospect of stores and restaurants being severely understaffed. That's bad on a convenience level but way overdue on a human level, summarized by one expert quoted in the article as saying "these were never good jobs and they were never livable jobs." And they were not. (Washington Post)
