Many people who are out of work are either seeking higher pay than they had before or are still reluctant to take jobs in public-facing service companies for fear of contracting COVID-19. How those two trends balance themselves out will likely set the pace for how many open positions employers can fill in the coming months.
As the competition to keep and attract workers intensifies, especially at restaurants and tourist and entertainment venues, employers are offering higher pay, along with signing and retention bonuses and more flexible working hours. The proportion of job advertisements that promise a bonus hasThe supply of potential hires is being held back by a variety of factors.

Paid them
Take away their unemployment plus $300 a week subsidy and you’ll see more applicants.
Unemployment paying 7 to 800 a week right now , truck driving companies 500-900 🤔 And now they want to pass a bill that will hurt owner operators alot. Companies are greedy and they get worse every year
No shit idiots.. with free money being thrown at them.. where’s the incentive to work?
'...and aren’t necessarily interested in returning to their old jobs, particularly those that offer modest wages.' Gtfo of here AP. Call it what it is, poverty wages.
JonLemire No more crappy jobs for crappy pay. “Thoughts and prayers” to companies holding down wages for decades and enjoying huge tax breaks. 🖕
Many companies dropped their pay. A company nearby used to pay $25 and more to cut metal parts off with a saw, Now pay $15. No benefits for 3 months. If you don't meet quota you get docked pay. Hitleresque supervisors, 2 15 minute break, stand at position in heat. At will state.
They will when rents come due
Not much urgency to take a job that pays so little.
It’s called laziness cut off unemployment benefits
Why work when they can collect unemployment with extra money
Not rush back to minimum wage (if that)? Imagine. Not just the States.
Meanwhile... The Biden/Harris administration rolls on and over people This is from Harris's home state:
This editorialized headline is terrible, lazy journalism.
sure, and once they dont need you anymore they lay you off…..
If it is not worth working for the money they earn in unemployment benefit, why work, we would have to change the minimum wage 
Why would they look for work when the Democrats in government want them to be paid better to stay at home. While those of us that have worked through the pandemic get shit on. makethemgetofftheirassesandwork losetheextraunemployment
It’s a great time to be a automated kiosk repair technician.
Yep, sounds like free market capitalism to me. Supply and demand. Look what happens when something is scarce in a free market economy. it's a sellers market for labor.
Meeting someone you can be yourself around and vibe with is the best feeling ever.
No, people are tired of being exploited and being paid next to nothing. Government is paying people more on unemployment AND people get to see their kids grow? That's just good business. Capitalism, baby!
at $15/hr a 40-hour workweek yields $600/week minus taxes leaves you about $1600 of monthly income to pay for a home, food, utilities, transportation, health care, and that’s in good weather, not during a pandemic and when the average hourly wage is $11/hr.
The US government created that dilemma. When you get paid to sit on your ass, why work? WhyWork
Wage increases are the way to go.
Lazy is going to be lazy.... Keep waiting
people will soon come to find work, once they're out of money. :p
Ummm interesting thought A1 would solve everything
Price of labour is cheap. Cash jobs is the way to go.
Nooo way. You mean giving people free money didn’t motivate people to go to work
Maybe a shortage of manpower is sort of a good thing. Employees will have to offer something palatable to entice workers to sign on.
here is the dirty secret of a free market. if you can't get enough of a good you have to pay more for it. somehow employers were thinking that does not apply to wages... sucks to be them xD
