Then I see some headline touting how the unemployment rate is at an all time low and getting better every week?

What?s everyone doing? Making money on YouTube or TikTok or whatever it is the kids are doing these days?
Part of the issue is people believe they're worth $15-20 per for any job, starting out. You should see some of the comments on other sites (NYT) when they do a "story" regarding inability of restaurants to find workers. The I DESERVE A LIVING WAGE, mob spends more time bitching about what they're not getting paid. Than actually working.
