Lets not get too far into the weeds here. Thats a whole nother can of worms for a diffrent discussion. And to be clear i nither agree nor disagree with you, just not wanting to go that deep in the weeds right now.
That said i think its regional. I know here you can actully make almost as much off unemployment and foodstamps as you can working one of these jobs. So a lot of locals tend to not want to work. Afterall if you can get 75% of what someone else gets working 40 hours a week at $22 an hour while sitting on your ### then why bother working at all? As a result many local businsses have stupidly high wages I.E $22 an hour at mcdonalds or the gas station hireing at $30 for night crew but cant get enough help even durning after school hours.
On the flip side i know where im moving the exact reverse is true. Wages are very low because there are more people who want to work then there are jobs and welfare is much lower. As a result the local busnisses pay as little as they can get away with because if someone quits they will have a new employee tomorrow. Also doesnt help many local places wont hire college kids. They prefer high school grads they train themselves which also keeps wages lower. Though to be fair the guys they train arent as deep in debt so need less money to live equally well as a college grad.
What companies are raising pay? Please share any info on payscales you have!

Average rent in my area is $750-900 a month with utilitys. Im in a nicer gated apartment complex so i pay around $1200 though that was because me and an ex split the place before she became an ex and ive just been too lazy to move. $22x40 a week would still give you around 45k a year and even at 25% overall tax thats plenty to live pretty decently off of. Same if you get 75% of that in welfare. 3 of my neghbours have been on welfare for the whole 3 years i have lived at my complex and order out 2 or 3 times a week and are entirely avle bodied. Hell they brag about living off welfare and how stupid i am for working constantly.
But again its regional. Some areas like NYC $22 an hour is poverty level. Others like KC its a great wage.dwells40, Savor the Flavor, Coffey and 4 others Thank this. -
