'I've never seen a market like this,' said Matt Lavery, UPS's global director of sourcing and recruiting.

This holiday season, it's retail companies who are sending out a wishlist, and all they're asking for is seasonal workers during one of the tightest markets in decades.

According to the Labor Department, job openings are plentiful, giving workers freedom of choice with about 10.4 million openings at the end of August and 11.1 million in July. That's the highest on record since about December 2000, when the government started collecting data on that figure. "I've never seen a market like this," said Matt Lavery, UPS's global director of sourcing and recruiting, who has worked on the hiring side of the package delivery company for 24 years."Normally when you're talking about people coming off unemployment benefits, you see surges in candidates. We're not seeing those."Retailers in the U.S. are desperately seeking workers before the busy holiday season begins.

To snap up available workers as fast as it can, UPS is trying a new tactic: Hire in 30 minutes or less. Taking too long to hire can mean an applicant may go elsewhere. So the company has nearly done away with interviews and does the whole hiring process online.

Just raise wages to keep up with inflation.

It's called a Pandemic and Apathy. We the people have become acutely aware of how the system is rigged against us. That the working class no longer has any ownership stake in the country or the means of production. The wage slaves are giving up, tossing in the towel, its over.

that's why everyone should OPPOSE VACCINE REQUIREMENTS! the United States is seeing millions drop out of the workforce in protest of these mandates.
