Lots of people are getting into homeschooling their kids. Probably lots of women have dropped out of workforce to do homeschooling mom or just being a housewife.

They are at home getting 350 dollars per kid on the 15th of every month deposited in their bank accounts.
Under age 6..you get 350 a month
From 6 to 18..you get 300 a month
 Quoting: Butterfly girl


I know this because I have extended family members who have 4 kids and they have been getting 1,100/month since July.
So.. they call this the new child tax credits..given to you all year around..they didnt even have to sign up for it.. it just comes on the 15th of every month..
So WHY would a mom work at..say..Mcdonalds..if she is getting 1100. A month now?
 Quoting: Butterfly girl


Because $1,100 a month isn't shit!
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 79624051


I don't know, maybe they also get EBT and food stamps on top of the $1100. If that's the case, there's no need to work anymore.

Maybe more and more people refuse to become just a cog in an evil machinery
 Quoting: JoshM


I think covid did that by having people stay home and evaluate their lives. They found out they didn’t want to slave away and minimalized. Many stayed home to be with their kids and ended up homeschooling them. A lot just don’t want to wear masks and get jabbed. I don’t know anyone who died from covid. A few who died from the jabs.

Why work for no rewards?

Making enough to pay the rent is no longer enough of an excuse to go to work.
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 77164285


Yes when they keep taking and taking why work? The welfare crowd isn’t working. Illegals are given everything. So find other ways to make money and not pay taxes. Or work just enough that you hardly pay. Big homes and flashy cars are just not worth it. Time is more valuable.

Re: Main Stream Media Starting To Ask "Where Are All The Workers?"
Nowhere in the news article does it mention that people have had enough and are saying a big FUCK YOU to vaxx mandates. I think the number of people doing so is much, much larger than what the MSM would have us all believe!

I took a couple of years off from work before covid came up. I had a heart attack and decided having more free time to spend with loved ones was more important. I was getting ready to re-enter the work force when all the bullshit started. Now with vaxx mandates I doubt I will ever go back.

My husband ended up taking early retirement but was considering getting a part time job to alleviate boredom and to rebuild savings that was depleted before he took retirement, but now because of vaxx mandates that isn't happening. Fortunately his retirement is enough to live on fairly comfortably, at least for people like us who live a simple kind of life.

I'm certain there are a lot of people just like us who would rather check out of the rat race than bow to the demands of a bunch of wanna be tyrants! Fuck them and their mandate bullshit!

Re: Main Stream Media Starting To Ask "Where Are All The Workers?"
If you consider the type of job positions that are open (mostly entry level, cashier type shit) you can see a couple things.

1.) Old people who used to have jobs for fun, early morning fast food cashiers, greeters, etc. They no longer feel safe interacting with the public, so they exited the workforce.

2.) Minorities and young people who have normally filled these positions are less likely to get vaccinated. These fast food and restaurants require vaccination. They preemptively removed themselves from the board and I guarantee most of their parents back them up in this decision, most of the time.

Thus, low skilled / entry level VACCINATED workers are hard to come by. They are creating a supply / demand issue by not working. Now McDonalds will hire you at $17/hr with a $500 sign on bonus. Wonder how much that will be next year?
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 75092756

Re: Main Stream Media Starting To Ask "Where Are All The Workers?"
I think a large part of it has to do with the age group of
the teenagers that usually fill these roles.

They were born in the year 2000 and beyond.

They had the internet their ENTIRE lives. They won't work and if they do they have no sense of urgency. They dont put up with the crap that Gen Xers did.

I know a 16 year old that started his first job at Dairy Queen with others his age. One older boy brought in some alcohol and they all went into the walk-in cooler and started drinking. Manager caught them. Fired all 7 of them on the spot.

I drive for DoorDash at night and I was at a drive thru and I could hear the cursing and screaming going on inside.

Girl opens the window and I asked if she was OK. She said NO BECAUSE I QUIT!....She shut the window and walked off...walked out the door and started walking down the road.

Point being...I do think this worker shortage is realllllly strange. Some of it is these kids these days. They absolutely WON'T put up with the bullshishhhh.

I've seen the way they are being treated now. It was always bad, but now post-pandemic it's worse.

People are mean as hell to the workers...they're tired of it.

The rest have been ruptured and we b fooked!! hiding

It also could be child care. Do you know how much that cost. So someone stays home with the kids. If you work and paid child care and you came out with $1,100 a month and spouses income. Who won't stay home at that point.

Its most likely a combo of child care, home school, self-employed, unemployment, retirement, student loans instead of working and deaths imo.

Now business are experiencing the other side of the scale. A lot of employers viewed workers as an expendable resource. Some still can't see what is happening and just waiting for the line of workers begging for jobs again. They don't understand why workers are leaving in droves. Old rule and values won't work anymore. Middle management sits in a desk all day... asking lower people to fill in for 3 jobs. Won't even give cost of living increases the past 5 years. Seen it first hand.

People should study societies like Mexico, Puerto Rico, Venezuela, South Africa or, even worse, North Korea to understand just how pathetic and desperate things can become. Or consider what occurred for decades in Soviet-era Russia or Mao-era China.

Americans in particular have lived under decades of normalcy bias and many of them may not really understand just how screwed-up a nation may become. That applies double or triple of Americans who think "progressive" public figures and liberal policymaking are a form of soothing, caring, helpful Big Mommy.

Pay someone a year+ to not work and you may find it hard to bring them back to the work force. Just wait until all these businesses start asking their employees to come back to work in the office after they’ve been working from home for 2 years now
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 73529875


My husband is one of those people who has been working from home since this whole scmademic began.

He does NOT want to go back to the office; the company has tried a few times to gather once a week, but everytime they plan it, 'something comes up'and they decide not to. He celebrates everytime they call it off, lol.

I think people are over commuting and spending 14 hour days in office buildings and having to schmooze with people they don't like.

Also, with all of the stupid CRT/equality training, mask and shot mandates being forced, most folks have had it with the corporate world.

Yeah, well I stand by my premise. Most of the 'missing' workers are people who were let go due to the ridiculous lockdowns and now don't want to return to work because they fear they will have to be vaxxed to keep the job.

Some people died of corona
Some people are disabled from corona
some people died from the vax
some people are disabled from the vax

And then there are a great number of people that have been hired by the government to administer the vax or to audit your tax returns or fill some other pointless job in the new administration. This is where a very large number of unskilled workers have gone.
 Quoting: Ben Band


i would guess 6 figures might have gone to gov jobs

millions are out of work due to vax.

they claim 700k dead from corona but we all know thats probably 10 to 20k. If you remove gunshot wounds to the head, car accidents, cancer, etc...


So look at vaers. 16k dead.
but people don't report to vaers. Harvard did a study showing less than 1% report to vaers. New study came out stating 1 out of 170 vaccine adverse reactions or deaths are reported.
so that's 2.7 million dead if those numbers are right and tens of millions injured by vax.


That's why all the jobs are available. We lost millions in the workforce due to vaccine death or injury.
