Labor and cement shortage causing ‘perfect storm,’ industry expert warns | Fox Business
Metrocon, Inc. President Dan Crosby discussed about a labor and cement shortage is impacting the industry.
It simply doesn't make sense. Prices are rising for everything yet employers can't find people to work. How are people surviving?Every dam business has help wanted signs. We can't get anyone in my place of employment even with a nice sign on bonus. Where the fuck are people getting their money from?
I've said it before and it's completely true. When you set up a system where people don't starve / freeze to death they will exploit it and make it a way of life. This one truth is why we're at with our current labor shortage. Nothing more.It simply doesn't make sense. Prices are rising for everything yet employers can't find people to work. How are people surviving?

My brother talked to someone about the rise in heating fuel prices ... Man claimed he has HEEP to pay his fuel bills. He did not care about the propane costsIt simply doesn't make sense. Prices are rising for everything yet employers can't find people to work. How are people surviving?
Sounds like a stupid liberal to me.My brother talked to someone about the rise in heating fuel prices ... Man claimed he has HEEP to pay his fuel bills. He did not care about the propane costs
They are paying that much (target). Why would I work that job in concrete if I could load boxes on shelves for $24/hour? Pay 30 and hour and you'll fill it. If they don't want to pay that much that means the job will likely go unfilled. Supply and demand applies here - there are an abundance of jobs paying $20+ an hour that are easy. If you have a job that is hard (physically or mentally) you're going to need to do better than $20 an hour. It's just that simple.Folks years ago one could order a truck load of concrete and next day pour. I understand that today that order is pushed out to 3 weeks before it arrives to the job site.
No truck drivers.
Talked to a friend in the trade...
Masons say they cannot find helpers at all. He claimed one cannot find helpers that will work for $20/hr any more. lifting block 12 a day all summer. .. Mind you folks .. I have been told that Target is hiring at $24/he stocking shelves ... (with air conditioning ) ..
Now this is here in the Rochester area and is what a friend mentioned in a casual conversation one night.
Did you get a good raise this year? If not demand one. If they refuse just leave for another job, you'll get paid more.I think we’re headed for the wage/inflation spiral like people/experts have mentioned. Where I’m at I think will soon be the minimum wage. I make $65-$70,000 and I think that’s where the liberals want the minimum wage to be so the majority of America depend on the government to survive. I hope I’m wrong.
It’s not that simple for me. I work for the government and all raises are set. My job has a lot of advantages so no I didn’t get a good raise. I got 2%, but our contract is up soon and I’m hoping for larger raises. They are having trouble getting and keeping people so I would expect something, but you never know.Did you get a good raise this year? If not demand one.

I think you're 100% correct.I think we’re headed for the wage/inflation spiral like people/experts have mentioned. Where I’m at I think will soon be the minimum wage.

In some large corporations knowing your worth isn't enough.They are paying that much (target). Why would I work that job in concrete if I could load boxes on shelves for $24/hour? Pay 30 and hour and you'll fill it. If they don't want to pay that much that means the job will likely go unfilled.

If you have a job that is hard (physically or mentally) you're going to need to do better than $20 an hour. It's just that simple.
For the record, I negotiated over an 11K raise this year. If they didn't pay me I'd just take myself (and experience) elsewhere. Know your worth and get your worth. A business will cut you in an instant if it's in their benefit, so you should do the same.
