My BIL is having trouble finding help down in FL. Several businesses here in Alabama have closed because they can't find help.

The unemployment benefits are now ridiculous.

For the last 10 years, Larry and Roxane Maggio ran a deli in New Jersey. Last month they closed their doors forever—“and not because business is bad.” “We just can’t find anyone to work,” Roxane Maggio told the Philadelphia Inquirer. The Maggios are not alone.

Delta country is one of the depressed areas in the nation. Has been forever. Yet, everywhere I look I see HELP WANTED, NOW HIRING signs in droves. Some places like McDonalds, Burger King, and even the auto parts stores are offering signing bonuses!!!! WTF work when the unemployment is goo damned good?

THINGS IN THE DFW AREA ARE BOOMING. CONSTRUCTION AND MECHANICALS ARE 2 AND 3 MONTHS BACKED UP. RESTURANTS ARE HIRING PEOPLE THAT HAVE NEVER BEEN IN THE SERVICE BUSINESS. COME ON DOWN. THINGS ARE GREAT HERE!

I heard the TX Wine country is having problems getting enough help to serve all the tourists. Out there it doesn't surprise me though. Unless you're at a good winery banking great tips from fat cats, I can't imagine how anyone would be able to afford living even reasonably close to work. I mean, are you going to rent your space to a restaurant bus boy for $800 a month, or rent it to tourists for $200 a night with 2 night minimum stay? Entry level working class can't afford those rents, and there are only so many local teens to go around.
