[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]People aren't working because they don't have to. There's simply too much easy money sloshing around. Raise rates by 300 bps, cut all the BS covid-era cash payouts, and raise the inheritance tax, and people will work.[/quote]

There's no more easy money sloshing around.

You guys said "wait until September when the covid unemployment runs out, they'll be fighting over these restaurant jobs!" Well, September came and went and there's not one restaurant in my town that I follow that doesn't have some kind of FB notice posted about altered hours because of a lack of workers.

Then it was "wait until the extra child payments end!" Annnnndddd again, where are the workers?

The workers left. They used programs offered during the pandemic to learn new skills and go back to school to better themselves. [/quote]

Some unemployed households received pandemic related benefits in excess of $100,000 and didn't have to use any of that money for rent. Given all that free money, [b]most of them don't need to return to work right away and can be selective about the jobs they apply for.[/b][/quote]
Even if this were true, why is it a bad thing for people to be selective about jobs? Likely they are seeking higher pay and/or better schedules that are more compatible with child-rearing or with going to school. In the long run, these things will make people more self-sufficient and less in need of government aid in the future. It's a good thing.[/quote]
