[QUOTE="huntinforfish, post: 358371, member: 607"] Many other factors at play as well. I live in MN now and manage a business and deal with hiring constantly. MN had record low unemployment and record high workplace participation in 2022. Demand for workers is just too far beyond supply in some areas. We are paying higher starting wages, better hours, more flexibility, etc., anything to get people in the door. All my customers tell the same story, just not enough people to go around. This is an issue that will continue to plague businesses as the population of working age people decreases. People retiring earlier than usual, massive baby boomer population leaving workforce, people having fewer kids these days, reduced immigration, state to state migration, and many other things will compound in the years and decades to come. hard to fill minimum wage jobs in fast food and retail when you can make 20+/hr in a warehouse or something similar. Their is an Alde warehouse in Owatonna MN paying 26/hr for 2nd or third shift forklift drivers. Competition for workers is fierce and that will not change unless there is a massive slowdown.
