You wonder why those federal employment numbers keep coming in lower than expected while so many restaurants and small businesses are clamoring for workers?
To put it simply, people are being paid too well by the feds not to work.
It’s not that they can’t find a job. Every storefront in America has a “Help Wanted” or “Hiring for All Positions” sign in its window.
They just can’t get their backsides off the couch – if they’re actually at home.
