I feel like comments like "nobody wants to work anymore", and employment numbers in general, need to come with a little star next to them that points to a footnote reminding you that the labor market is being perpetually undercut by prison labor.
@mhoye Agreed. I’m so fed up with people reporting a “Labor Shortage”. The population hasn’t changed. Their tolerance of low wages, wage theft, and shitty benefits has changed. Companies experiencing a labor shortage need to engage in self reflection, and stop blaming workers.
