In Texas, there's been a lot of gnashing of teeth about the low labor supply, as a talking point against the unemployment bonus (which the state is opting out of). It seems to ones the most effected are places likes restaurants, who often pay the $2.15+tips rate. Then I noticed today that HEB (grocery chain often rated as one of the best in the country) was hiring warehouse workers at $17.50/hour. I suspect they have no issues finding workers.
- jackson1442 5y agoI can attest. I have two friends who were hired on the spot at places that were desperate for workers. One makes $8/hr, the other makes like $10/hr. No breaks, no benefits, no scheduling regularity. The company I work at has no trouble finding employees, but I have a well-paying swe position.
