job now? I’m seeing the same thing as OP at my current job. Lots of people leaving and getting paid more. I work in a very stable industry so people aren’t taking high risk jobs. They are just getting paid more for the same work they did before.

Pay a livable wage and they won't leave you. It's not brutal it's math.

Where is all this extra money coming from that employers suddenly have?

Comes from charging people more for your service. I acknowledge that drives up

Don't you have your own personal printing press like the federal government does?

A tight market is good for workers. Good pay for workers is good for America.

Low labor market participation combined with inflation is not good for America.

Vote for increased taxes and prosecutors could be paid on par w/ private attnys. Not rocket science.

So many jobs out there paying "livable wages" that can't hire people

Wages are only one of several major reasons people quit their jobs

The mantra of those who don't understand economics.

And yet economic geniuses can't figure out why they can't hire or keep workers.

Is this not the new left go-to when people say they are having a hard time filling positions? It's almost knee-jerk.

Maybe. But that isn’t the point of my post. Read it again.

It's still supply and demand at the end of the day.
