[quote]A new survey from the Restaurant Association Metropolitan Washington (RAMW) reveals that more than two-thirds of casual dining restaurants will likely close this year.

The survey cited escalating food costs, federal layoffs, and tipped wage increases as some of the reasons for the expected closures.[/quote][/quote]
Meanwhile my former employer cannot find workers and I have to go in to help out. Where is the disconnect? They have ads up everywhere. It's a great place to work with $30-$40+ an hour depending how fast one can run. They are nowhere near offices, but are very busy. The restaurant work is not good enough for many with degrees. The resumes restaurant does get, show people changing jobs like underwear.
[b]The work ethic of workers from 20-30 years ago versus now,[/b] can't be compared. Only the kitchen workers and anyone over 45 still keeps going til the last customer leaves. There has been some kind of shift. Restaurant work is somewhere in the middle when it comes to ability, but DC seems to have the highly qualified and not qualified workers.
Everyone talks how slow business is and I have heard it for decades now. Nobody mentions how bad business owners are at budgeting, expenses, economy, or seeing how the incoming laws may affect their business. 
Sorry for my English. Me foreign-born and I cannot write to save my life. Just know that restaurant are hiring. Three of my ex employers have asked me to come in and help within last 3 months. [/quote]
20-30 years ago there was some loyalty from employers, where if you were a hard worker they would strive to keep you on the books.  now people get laid off even as executives get bonuses for huge profits and the stock booms.[/quote]
