Anyone notice literally every fast food is “now hiring”? what does this mean for America?

If you read anything other than cuck forums for internet meme coins, you would know the US is under a massive labor shortage. Truck drivers are being offered six figure jobs now because there’s literally nobody who will do the job. All in all, inflation is heating up badly due to rising labor costs which will lead the fed to hike rates more aggressively, causing a market crash which is cooked up on cheap debt from the ZIRP days

Oh for sure, labor participation is low as ever. Almost a third of the nation is NEETing it up. The deceptive stats on unemployment is that unemployment is defined as “not working AND not seeking to work”. Since those people are not looking for work, they don’t count as unemployment. In other words, the whole country can go NEET and we will have zero unemployment

They do this, along with small business, to have an army of part time workers that will fill every hour of operation without having to cover certain benefits that only apply to people who work over X amount of work. I think they’re called the 29ers (29 hours per week)? Thanks government for forcing benefits through and fucking up lower class wage cucks even more

[Anonymous No.10813832]

Now hiring is an easy subliminal hint that they’re successful. It’s a subtle way of saying,”We’re busy and have so much business that we need to spend money on more workers, so we must be good.” Turnover is shit, as well, generally. As long as they don’t say “Closed for business” and stay empty, everything is nominal.

Not necessarily, retail is dying out badly but still needs some wagies to cover the losses. It’s the difference between operating at a loss with just your fixed costs or losing less by having a return on investment that covers its own variable costs and a piece of fixed costs. Moreover, private debt is as high as can be with everyone maxing out their credit cards on useless shit

[Anonymous No.10813880]

Also I don't think people realize just how big a difference there is between various unemployment precentages.

Like, ok, it drops from 10% to 5%, you as a hiring manager are no longer inundated and throwing out half the resumes you get (don't want to hire unlucky people). Doesn't matter.

At 4% the pool is getting a little thinner. You let some things slide, like having tattoos or the person being currently unemployed.

A drop to 3% means that you are getting 40% fewer resumes than you're used to. You have to let shit slide if you want to staff up. Every employee you lose hurts.

A drop to 2% like you're seeing in some areas means "oh shit, I am scraping the bottom of the barrel." and "people I gave a job offer to actually declined in favor of another one. wtf?"

[Anonymous No.10813885]

Probably why nobody does the job even with the salary offered

[Anonymous No.10813889]

I know of some fast food places that aren't hiring, but are required to have those signs out.

My fast food workplace always have one up, whether we need workers or not.

Meanwhile another store in our franchise has such a high turnover rate that they sign means exactly that.

Still, when the max raise for non-management is 25 cents an hour above minimum wage, people aren't fighting over those jobs.

No memes, I'll give you my honest opinion.
Something is completely fucked with the supply/demand aspect of labor when it comes to fast food jobs
Quality of service/workers seems to get worse every year, and employee turnover seems to keep getting higher
Employees don't give a shit and quit these jobs because the pay sucks ass
Companies should be responding by raising wages to raise the demand for these jobs, but they aren't
I don't think this will end well. Well, I refuse to eat fast food because the food and service has gotten so bad. In most cases, I won't even eat out at sit-down restaurants.

Look at this image here >>10813714

The fact is that the US economy is a service based economy. There is no money in employment for the majority of people. Keep in mind from that image, these are people with children as well.

The unemployment figure also does not include people who couldn't find a job after a year. Probably a lot of people are unemployed and have checked out of society.

The service based economy means like 50% of the employed population is dependent on some shitty part time McJob. It's insane and destined to crash hard.

10% of the US is black, another 30% is Hispanic. The fact they're not dragging us down more is a sign of just how good things are in the US compared to Liberia or Mexico.

Boomers fucking off to Florida and methheads round out the rest of the 50% dependent on some shitty McJob and weigh down the empop even more.

That seems to be the case. It even is happening to some extent with enlisted military. A buddy of mine rejoined the Air Force (reserves this time around). Even over the last five years, he has seen grunts talking back to their TIs, not wanting to work or generally being apathetic.

I think we're due for a large correction in the US on a social level. Automation and increases in technology based increase in worker efficiency are helping to keep the dam from breaking.

Truly horrifying job... Essentially it's like being in solitary confinement. I had a cousin who became a truck driver. At first everyone was happy for him because his life was going nowhere and he was 29. After a year he completely changed as a person, he was moody, bitter, anti-social. Fast forward 3 years to now, he's an office worker making barely 46k a year, but he's a million times happier and back to his normal self.

Being a truck driver is solitary confinement.

They seem kind of mostly like /pol/ musings... From what I see, nearly every job in the US (I travel a lot) is set to cuck employees into living hand-to-mouth while using said job as leverage for generating debt.
While a lot of the "stats" people are dropping (ie. unemployment is measured by those looking for jobs in the past year/ USA is a service economy) are true, the Upper Crust of wagies are clinging to strong companies for salary, while they have 'children' upwards of 30 years old NEETing it up and keeping Upper Crust Wagies from making use of their pay.
Give it a few more years and the Debt Crisis will have lawmakers wishing away small loans or simply injecting trillions of fiatbux into the economy to sustain the Upper Wagie population. The goal of government finance is to keep the wheel turning and if your slaves drop dead, no turning happens.
They have a perfect machine that can't break down unless aliens swoop in from outer space and turn off the electricity.
