President Joe Biden - Kamala Harris Administration

Job openings are at record highs. Why aren’t unemployed americans filling them? — The Wall Street Journal

Four primary reasons are listed for the high unemployment and high job openings. One of them is self inflicted.

Several factors are behind the development: Many workers moved during the pandemic and aren’t where jobs are available; many have changed their preferences, for instance pursuing remote work, having discovered the benefits of life with no commute; the economy itself shifted, leading to jobs in industries such as warehousing that aren’t in places where workers live or suit the skills they have; extended unemployment benefits and relief checks, meantime, are giving workers time to be choosy in their search for the next job.

And many people simply don’t want to go back to their old jobs. 3 in 4 leisure and hospitality workers simply don’t want to do it anymore. And half of the applicants don’t want an on site job anymore.

A recent ZipRecruiter survey found 70% of job seekers who last worked in the leisure and hospitality industry say they are now looking for work in a different industry. In addition, 55% of job applicants want remote jobs. An April survey of U.S. workers who lost jobs in the pandemic, conducted by the Federal Reserve Bank of Dallas, found that 30.9% didn’t want to return to their old jobs, up from 19.8% last July.

FFS people simply are deciding to stay unemployed and our ******* government is enabling them. Freaking stupid.
 
LOL So how do you extricate yourselves from this mess? She's in the queue Chief. And your boy probably ain't gonna live out his term.
I don't extricate from this and never have. Kamala was a bad choice from the start. I called it early on. I think you all underestimate Biden though, and overestimate Kamala.
