@raybockman I remember when I learned about how we calculate unemployment from Rush Limbaugh and could not agree with his take more. Basically, when you stop counting those people at that point you take away any reason for them to even try to look.
I hate to say this but I think that a lot of baby boomer parents are part of the problem that created the difficulty to find workers now. They didn't want their children to want for anything so they provided everything and still continue to do this. That removes all expectation of accountability, which enables them to continue living off someone else. Then the lie that they are all "special" and deserve $15 an hour no matter their skill level and you effectively have people not willing to work at all.
Thanks for the great article!
