There are more available jobs in the U.S. than unemployed Americans. So employers are getting creative to fill open positions.

LOS ALAMOS, N.M.—Michael Colyer doubled his salary when he got into a program that trains workers to monitor toxic waste at Los Alamos National Laboratory.

Mr. Colyer, 40, has lived in the shadow of the sprawling nuclear facility most of his life, but thought a job there was out of reach because he lacked a college education. “Los Alamos is kind of like a mining town,” Mr. Colyer said. “The lab is the business here, and without a degree, it’s hard to get in.”

I’m turning to automation. Solves short & long term labor issues.

Maybe offer more money?

How much do these jobs cleaning up nuclear waste pay?

Don't hold your breath for a living wage...God bless the labor union members. 😐

And Democrats want these same people paying off the student loans of in debt up to their eyeballs college students 🤔

How to get more employees: 1) Offer more money. 2) Pay off student loans. 3) Offer better health care. 4) Train supervisors to increase their EQ

Yeah but your not supposed to live off those jobs

If this is true why are they a) not raising wages more and b) using bullshit 'AI applicant screeners' The latter seems like something you would do if there were far more applicants than there are jobs.

Try raising wages. That's creative.

Try paying more. Jesus, and you're supposedly a 'business' newspaper with real economists and suchlike. Hell, hire me. I can improve your editorial commentary 1000%, all by myself. Fire all those right wing hacks and hire me for 1/2 the salary; reduce 'fixed' costs!

They'll have to start paying more soon.

Why aren’t wages going up?

By offering benefits and health insurance? By paying a living wage? Most of these available jobs aren't that great.

I pay high wages starting to weed through some of the laziest. That's the plan anyways....

So why aren't salaries rising?

Government revenue lost in employer tax collection. We need immigrant labor. Birth rates dropping. Why do you think we import product. We can’t produce or service tgebneeds of America. realDonaldTrump stevenmnuchin1 SpeakerPelosi LindseyGrahamSC

If more businesses accepted newcomers and provided on the job training. There wouldn’t be that much of a problem.

Clear sign of overheated economy, raise interest rates.

When are people going to wake up to what contraception has done to the economic engine in the devastating effects of eradicated population

Such bs

This is amazing. The economy is leaving NO ONE behind!!!

'Jobs, jobs, there aren't any jobs here, unless, you want to work forty hours a week' !!!

That’s the way it should be. Ccompanes competing for employee favor. Thank you President Trump.

Here's a tip: pay higher wages. You're welcome.

Are they going to pay people what they're REALLY WORTH ?
