$20/hour to deliver packages from the trunk of their car. Lemme know how much PTO and medical they get (pro tip, it's none---they're contract employees).
Are you really comparing your company with amazon?

I'm guessing those "contract" workers like the idea of being able to work as much or as little as they want since, unlike your employees, they are not required to be at work from x o'clock to y o'clock.
That might be why Uber is able to get more drivers than you can get workers.
Let me help you boomers out from a Millennial perspective.
Pay w/ no benefits= temporary job I'll work until I can find something better
Pay w/ benefits= career I'm going to stay in for a while.
You say nobody wants to work at your company when really nobody wants to make a few bucks and still have 0 insurance/retirement
hiding in plain sight in govt jobs that require me to check a couple boxes a day to maintain my employment status. Let me dazzle you with my brilliance as to how to build a strong labor force in the private sector."
Sharkgirl is trying to get out of her work situation. Everything that looks good for her wants a masters AND some joke of a pay rate. She also won't just listen to me and try her hand at teaching for a couple years.
warehouses, you get $1500. Then your bonuses step up after that you start getting full-time benefits. Hard to find anyone willing to show up. That's how hard it is to find good workers.
Then you can set your hourly rate. And as long as you do it, and no one else does it, or does it better, or wants to do it because it sucks so bad, then you're gold.

Nice to get a perspective of the private labor market from a government employee who apparently doesn't do a d#mn thing productive. Are you on T-net because they kicked you out of the faculty lounge?
I know people are mocking this as a random screenshot and I’m on your side
Since COVID started and kicked me in the nutz twice I’ve been watching the market for new opportunities
I think the Mickey D’s and the like are a job and not a career. The level of people they are attracting is probably the kind not taking a job due to unemployment
On the career front your post is accurate, I’ve got a business degree from Clemson and 13 yrs in a dead end sales job. Everything I see as “entry level” has a lot of stipulations that I don’t fit given a proven track record. I’m aware that I can still submit a resume and see what happens, but it’s disheartening to see that I’m severely under qualified to have an inside sales job of widgets.
TL;DR: FBCooch is right on this one, maybe not at the hourly service industry jobs, but on a clear career path
