Seems like we're seeing this pattern across the board in the economy: shortages of labor, and salaries aren't increasing enough to lure people in. Are employers unable to raise salaries, or are they unwilling? If they are unable, where does this leave us if no one can afford the price of labor? If they are unwilling, is this just a game of chicken to see who blinks first between employees and employers?

- avidphantasm 4y agoI think part of what we are seeing is the beginning of a large number of Baby Boomers retiring, causing worker shortages across the economy.
- _abox 4y agoThis kind of work is not done a lot by boomers. Especially the luggage work is way too heavy.
