How much? At least $10.50 per hour so they can just work pt. Not worth getting sick. And crap pay. Plus crap work. Family business.
Who in their right mind wants to work, especially for low wages, when unemployment, food stamps, medicare, food banks, church food, stimulus checks, rent subsidies, utility payments are paid by government, etc., etc., are freely given, no need even a Vaccine Passport.
When is the government gonna shoot itself in the other foot?
Better advertising would be better to say FREE JOBS.
People are used to FREE stuff, so why not a job. FREE, all you need to do is show up on time, do your job, and get paid.
Realizing that a job no longer makes sense.
Doesn’t the President realize he is supporting Striking Low Paid Workers, who already are well paid for not working, by way of all these government subsidies to stay at the beach or in the TV Room.
Golly, I guess it’s tough to find employees when you pay low wages.
