[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Over the last few days in the East Coast Seaside town I've had conversations with thee local business owners who lament the fact that they can't hire anybody. there's no one to hire.  Which does not surprise me because fat lazy Americans don't want hard work, physical jobs like restaurants and retail. Get ready to pay much higher prices for produce when there is no one to pick fruit and produce just rots in the fields. Get ready to pay twice for that new roof you need to put on your house and get ready to wait an extra few months to get that roof work scheduled, again because there aren't enough Americans willing to do the work. You're right, it's so terrible to have immigrants come here to actually do the work that keeps our nation running. Hopefully Trump will at least enable and encourage a real legislative solution.

There are people to hire, but "the nobody wants to work anymore" crowd won't pay what people are willing to work for.

Which means, technically, that they don't have businesses. They have hobbies that they want other people to subsidize.[/quote]

This. You have a pay a livable wage or people aren't going to work for you unless they are desperate. [/quote]

But you also need a purchasable price point.  People aren't going to buy if something is neither cheap nor reliable.[/quote]

The cost of labor is a minor part of the cost of most products. Owners just choose to put the squeeze there rather than on their own salaries and profits.[/quote]
