And retail and some manufacturing too. Most manufacturing jobs here will have you starting through a temp agency making very close to minimum wage and will keep you as a temp for up to a year with no benefits before they decide to hire you direct or let you go and replace you with another through the temp agency.. Interesting, as having worked for temp agencies, the company is paying them near double for the worker than the wage they get. Keeps the company from having to do book work, insurance, etc.........almost all covered by the temp agency. Good business model for the companies involved, not so much for the worker..................of course. Keeps them from having to pay benefits too, which is the important and EXPENSIVE thing for the employers. My health insurance alone was costing my last employer 1k a month.

Biggest town, county seat here, is less than 3K population. I'm waiting for the '20 census numbers to see how many our county lost since '10.

Here Mcdonalds and Hardees usually import immigrants from Jamaica? or some other foreign land to work in the summertime , because they can not get enough workers. Last year because of travel restrictions, the had no employees added . Drive up only and they had like three people running the whole place, then got Covid relief money.Talk about increasing profit margin and not be sustainable..........

Not sure the reason, as it's hard to keep a small restaurant open here, but while in town yesterday I noticed one of the cafes is all closed up and a for lease sign in the window.
Third different place there since we arrived in late '16. Food there was "decent' but nothing special.

Definetely an act of war on the part of the Chinks, which is why I can't understand why we haven't nuked the lowly rotten bastards.

I have said for several years we are in the middle of a civil war and world war at the same time. I hope God blesses America one more time. It’s going to take more than prayer. Unfortunately blood and guts is what has always prevailed and saved us. MAGA

Demographics(age cohorts) in quite a few places in the USA are nearly vertical or getting v shaped. There aren’t ,enough kids even with the influx of immigrants. Which is why Democrats are trying to import anyone they can. 4 decades of chamber of commerce influenced social engineering have been an absolute disaster. Keep waiting for dumbass GOP to adopt family friendly policies, but that will never happen , I guess. The rise of Hungarian style pro family party will most likely have to come from within the Dems....

It's bad around here. I've heard guys bitch that they won't get off their ass for less than $35.00 an hour. They are not my friends or associates. If you show up for work, you'll make a nice living around here. Equipment operators are starting at $32.00 an hour. Crazy.
You had to know someone to get those jobs not that long ago.

The simple answer is and always will be cutting out the welfare checks. Even most of the worthless will work to feed their kids. No free ride.

Maybe some of you live in schit areas with a bunch of lazy ass kids? All our fast food joints are running wide open. Of course we have the fast fuggs to show for it. Thazz what I’m talkin about. Around my house they’ll have a Filet O Fish in your hand quicker than you can piss.
Trump being classless,tasteless and clueless as usual. Sorry, trump is a no tax payin pile of shiit. My young wife decided to play the field and had moved several dudes into my house
