Businesses all over the country actually do NEED the help. Is it because of Covid? Maybe yes, maybe no. I do know that the baby boomers are retiring all over the country and it has become difficult to fill many positions. I also know there are jobs out there that Americans no longer will do (think landscaping, fast foods, hotel maids, etc.).

Last year many restaurants in the Lakes Region had to cut back on their hours or their days open because they were unable to obtain the staffing. Plenty of work available for those interested in working.
Americans will do them... if you pay them enough.
Of course, that means they are going to leave other jobs that will have to pay more to hire workers and the musical chairs starts.
