Jobs and Workers

Now it is February 2022 and the United States according to most if not all economists are recovering from the downturn caused by the 2021 pandemic.  The last part is still debatable as COVID is still spreading just different variants it is causing less drastic counter measures than before though.  The vaccine has worked to curtail most if not all symptoms granted it still can be transmitted just the actual severity does not cause as many issues. 

                What I want to discuss is the problem of jobs and what it means to people to work now during 2020 and the beginning of 2021 a job offer was in favor of the company or hiring agency now it has changed.  People have basically woke up and found that companies and hiring agencies need workers more than they realized.  A shift has occurred, and it is up to the companies and hiring agencies to start changing the dynamics of job offers along with the management that runs them.  I hear this all the time I cannot find workers or no matter how much I offer in pay workers will not stay or work then I look at the other industries in the area offering pay that is either higher or more benefits or both.  It becomes clear that the issue is like someone on the internet stated before a man offers to buy a bag of chips from a vendor for $1 but the vendor says the chips are $3 the man goes without chips because the price he wants to pay is much lower than the amount the vendor will accept.  In this instance it is not a chip shortage but a in balance in the chip price and this is the crux of the issue workers now can not accept the price and as for more but companies and hiring agencies are not willing or able to go higher either by profit or money issues.
