“Nobody wants to work” is just code for “Nobody wants to be exploited.”
Also a theory I have one some of this, especially minimum wage jobs.
COVID opened a LOT of people’s eyes to the level of exploitation going on, especially so for any “secondary income” people in the house.
When the local restaurant closed, and the wife (not being sexist, just, the reality of our society is it’s usually the wife/mom/woman) wasn’t working, and she was cooking at home more and being with the kids more because home schooling. These families realized that at the end of the day, they were not doing worse off.
Like basically, they realized that secondary, min wage job, was just covering the travel expense for that job, and daycare/babysitter for the kids while at that job, and maybe food that was eating out that had been replaced with leftovers or whatever now.
That job wasn’t actually bringing in significant money.
yep, and in states like austria the amount of pension you can accrue with these part time jobs nearly isn’t worth the hustle, which is probably the shittiest thing about the situation.
