Are people not educated enough to do this. $300 a month is keeping people from wanting these jobs that they could make in a day? There seems to be a pretty large disconnect between what is being said and reality. Isn't the 300 a month on top of the unemployment benefits? Link to comment

This is a very important part pertaining to Nebraska: We don't have enough people. We need immigration. So....no....restaurant workers are not making "slave wages". They never did but it was a cute talking point for some 1 Link to comment

Not when sitting on their a$$, collecting unemployment is enough to cover their Netflix subscription, and the dollar menu at McDonald's. 4 1 Link to comment

I wouldn’t want to hire these people anyway if you can’t trust them. Link to comment

B.B. Hemingway Posted May 18, 2021 Share Posted May 18, 2021 (edited) @Frott Scost Oh, boy. Do some hiring within the manual labor workforce, and than we'll talk, fella. You're not exactly picking from the cream of the crop. Every now and then you'll find a diamond in the rough, but it's rare. This isn't a secret. Talk to anyone who hires manual labor workers. Also, we start at $15/hr.... Edited May 18, 2021 by Enhance Edited this post to remove offending quote from another member. 4 1 Link to comment

I'm with you, I wouldn't dream of working for $15/hr, luckily I own the place. 2 1 1 Link to comment

The truth about wages is that every employer's starting wage will be only enough to entice employees to work for them over others, not necessarily what the employees are worth or the value of their efforts to the company. 1 Link to comment
