A worker in Florida applied to 60 entry-level jobs in September and got one interview

>Businesses across the US say they are struggling to find employees, especially for hourly work.

>Joey Holz decided to test their claims, submitting two applications per day in September. Holz said he wasn't applying for any roles he didn't qualify for.

>Holz got one interview, and his summary of the experiment went viral on multiple platforms.

>Over the next several months, he watched as a growing chorus of businesses said they couldn't find anyone to hire because of government stimulus money.

>one interview with a construction company that advertised a full-time job focused on site cleanup paying $10 an hour. But Holz said the construction company instead tried to offer Florida's minimum wage of $8.65 to start, even though the wage was scheduled to increase to $10 an hour on September 30.

>In a Facebook post on September 29, which went viral on Twitter and Reddit as well, Holz said, "58 applications says y'all aren't desperate for workers, you just miss your slaves."

The no-paying job are the ones who are struggling, so this makes perfect sense.

I was right.

Laziness, pure and simple.

Failed Trump policy. Cutting all immigration has dire consequences.

I was right.

There are plenty of capable, non-working adults out there. Laziness.

Not really. The cutting of Covid funds didn't help and that was your last excuse, so what it is this time? Or are people just deciding that food and shelter are no longer required? lol

There's a Facebook group called NO ONE WANTS TO WORK that's worth a few laughs.

Capitalists love market forces until they affect the cost of labor, then listen to them cry about "laziness".

Bullshit.

Hunger. Rain on your head. Ants in your bed. Theses are no longer major factors in the life and times of the American worker?

I was right.

There is a reason why the GOP cuts Comprehensive Immigration Reform off at every opportunity, even when it is proposed by a sitting Republican President.

They want the cheap labor with no accountability to observing labor laws.
Ironically, Bush 43 did a good job with his CIR proposal...but the GOP wanted none of it.

Crying 'laziness' is the very definition of 'laziness', but what else would one expect from a dotard.
