I know you live in a shithole state and don't get out much but I'd like to just say from my end of the spectrum, they are begging for employees around here. Wages are going up up and up because they can't fill positions. Our local McDonalds is starting kids off at 17.50 an hour. LOL I remember when I first started working back in 84 in the service biz and 5 bucks an hour made me feel like a mini Rockefeller. When I worked my way up from 5 to 7 to 10 it felt even better.
Maybe downstate it is different but here seems to be booming. Now a Big Mac might cost a buck more for people who eat that shit but wages offset the costs and the only people bitching about it are people from right to work states who allow themselves and their children to be bent over the table by the people they voted for.
