They are sending him all over driving routes because they literally cannot hire a single person. That job pays just over $40 per hour after 4 years and the benefits are significant including a fat teamsters pension. Cant find anyone to take 100k per year job. Insane My buddy works for UPS going on 15 years. He is crushing it right now same thing, no drivers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yup , with all the incentives and OT rules it would be easy for a topped out driver to make 150k plus right now. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boomers leaving the workforce and spending the retirements they gifted themselves and nobody there to fill the jobs they left. To be more specific , nobody there to fill the jobs the people who filled the boomers cushy jobs left. There is a huge hole in the workforce and it’s not going to get any better until we go through a massive debilitating recession or worse 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lack of workers will force automation and some skills that can't be automated will be worth a fortune. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately because of their constant greed and debt the younger generation has been playing catch up for years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Platinum Contributing Member Highmark Posted September 15, 2022 Platinum Contributing Member Share Posted September 15, 2022 So far the majority of layoffs have been white collar. With all the mfg companies looking for workers it might take a significant slow down before they need to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s the boomers leaving that has created this hole in the job marked. It has nothing to do with people staying home because they were getting paid by the government. I would’ve worked for a few more years, but the stress of Covid in the healthcare workplace made it too fucking stressful. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well we all gifted ourselves that retirement money we've been saving for years, so there's that. I swear some of these guys have 6th grade math skills. Meanwhile this boomer is still working.

No shit. I get tired of the boomer this and boomer that. I'm selfish because I worked my ass off? Fuck you. My debt is my debt, no one else's and I'll make sure it's taken care of. I don't ask for anything from anyone else and I like it that way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A good portion of what’s fueling this hot economy are the boomers spending big during retirement. The younger, snot nose generations should be grateful.

Fed actiaons hae made boomers feel secure enough to retire but IMO any real drop in the markets is going to make those who retired with no pension in their 50's regret the choice.

My kids started working at 14/15, i did at 15 because neither myself or my parents were going to give money. amazing the kids not working today in HS and college age. some not even going to school and not working. at a "normal" 80 percent participation rate in the 20-24 year old groups lots of these service jobs would be filled. with less pensions more working in the 65-74 makes sense as few have good plans for retirement. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The dems and some republicans do not like good work ethic. That requires a strong back and a strong mind and the dems can't have that, those types are hard to control.

It’s been dropping since 2000. Gone from 78% in 2000 to 70% 2022. I wouldn’t call that extremely poor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Talking about this last weekend. We were all working by age 16. It was very rare for a HS kid to not have a job and pay for their own gas and what not. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just what you did. I can’t believe the amount of kids who don’t drive. What???!! My parents helped me buy a $ 500 Plymouth horizon when I was 15 that I was responsible for gas and maintenance. I had my mom pick me up from school on bday to go get license. That little car never stopped rolling. I drove the wheels off it. 😂 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
