In the age of COVID-19, millions of people have barely kept their heads above water due to receiving unemployment benefits. When the government provided the supplemental benefits, it seemed like a godsend. And for most, it was. But it seems that there is an unintended negative consequence – job vacancies.
Many people who can return to the workforce have not done so. And the trickle down is affecting small business owners the most. Restaurants, grocery stores, the post office, have all seen the employee pool tank. Getting things we need and services is getting harder because people seem to lack the motivation to go back to work.
Now don’t get me wrong, if there is a legitimate reason to stay home I understand. But there are those who just don’t want to work, and would rather live off the benefits, and this is the real problem.
In this episode I discuss this and why it’s such a big problem. I even offer a few suggestions on how we might be able to fix it. Listen in, and don’t forget to leave a comment!!
