In my town realtors are getting over 4x the average salary. (Coeur d'Alene, ID)
There is a job fair this week where 65 local businesses are looking to fill 1600 jobs...just in my county. Hyping the 12.5% average wage increase (most jobs they are talking about were in the $10/hr range).
Everyone is a realtor. Businesses are fleeing. Workers have already left. Commercial vacancies everywhere (but of course the price does not drop, but they are largely shifting from for lease to for sale).
Although..We do have 3 hatchet throwing bars currently and a new brewpub every week.
Not sure how long this house of cards will stand...but it in no way seems sustainable. Even at $20/hr I cannot pay workers a living wage.
Edit: for clarity
- pierat 3y ago> We do have 3 hatchet throwing bars currently and a new brewpub every week. Im seriously not getting the financial metrics of these axe throwing bars. Insurance liability of throwing sharp chunks of metal must be stupid high, and really, how many people are actually interested in this? There's 2 that popped up locally here. I just dont get it. Now, alcohol... that's another story. Decent beer is easy to brew, and has good markups. And having a pub is basically printing money. If you have a good location, it's a moneyprinter. At least the metrics for these make sense. And, well, alcohol does better when the economy is worse. People can drink their sorrows away, for a time.
