Where I work, we can't hire enough people. $31 - $34/hr for entry level low/no skill and we can't get people. When we do get people, we are having 20 - 30% quit within 6 months. Depending on the job, there is a $3000 to 10,000 hiring bonus. I just don't understand what I am seeing.
I know. If the work is physical, no one wants to do it, especially when they are told they cannot have their cell phones with them all the time.
I don't know how you can keep them beyond one week. When I worked in warehousing, if they lasted through their initial week of training, it was a miracle.
The non-physical side is just as bad. My office hired a clerk. The job description was posted and a copy provided to the applicant at the time she accepted the job. Because it requires customer contact, the hours of work, breaks and lunch were spelled out and the newly hired girl agreed to them. The first day she comes in and asks the other clerks if there would be a problem if she combined her lunch and breaks so she can leave early to pick up her child from school. They told her no, she can't, because they are rotated to the front desk to deal with the clients. She announced that she did not want to deal with people and didn't think that she would actually have to if she didn't want to, despite it being clearly outlined in the job description. Needless to say she walked out before lunch and never came back.
My experience is that it really is mainly the under-40 age group that has been doing this. Yes, it happens in every age group, but the under-40 crowd is heavily represented. It is so sad. They want to complain that they can't find a job, but from talking to many of them, they expect to receive a 6-figure salary with no experience and no more than 20 hours of work a week, with most of it devoted to screen time on their phones.
I don't want to give aid to my own doxing. It wouldn't be too hard for a motivated person. Sadly, I must decline this question. I got booted once from here because I refused to provide a link to prove a statement from me. The link would have shown my city and state of domestic domicile. I suspect the doxing was their motivation for pressuring me.
If you need to know the cost of living, the wage I stated is a good wage for the locale.

What type of work is it?
Production is the one I spoke of. But they have supervisors, engineers, and quality jobs for more money.
