  1. Nothing is going to happen without providing childcare. A large portion of the workforce – especially those looking for low-skill jobs at Target and UPS – can’t work unless they have good childcare.

    It is good that we’re seeing employers pay for education and raise wages to help with attracting workers. Corporate America has not been keeping pace with inflation when it comes to low-skill wages. Hopefully we see this trend continue.

    1. Yes instead of the non stop people don’t want to work because of enhanced unemployment why aren’t we hearing the issues with child care? Many centers closed when parents kept kids home. Those that reopened reduced head count to attempt to make facility safer. Add all of this to the cost of child care per child and this is probably reason 1 or 2 why people aren’t returning to retail/restaurant jobs.

    1. Yes, Jeff, you’ve done one story. This has been a problem all through the pandemic, and has been made worse by bigger employers (finally) raising wages.
