If you’re hiring machinists or nurses for $2 more than fast food wages you will be continually understaffed and the local pool of skilled workers will dry up.

If this is a recent development, I would say that it's just inertia against inflation. Are you saying this has been happening more than the past couple years?
- gopher_space 2y agoFrom my perspective it’s post-pandemic behavior, but I’m just one set of eyeballs. Inflation inertia seems reasonable but this is back of the envelope math most businesses do as a matter of course.
