    At the root of the #workershortage – which advocates say is really a shortage of good jobs – is #lowwages. Most #homeless services frontline workers get $16 and $18 an hour, far too little for the grueling labor, not enough to live in expensive #California cities.

    There is no worker shortage. There is a cheapskate surplus.

    "#Workershortage plagues #hospitality industry, '#lowwages', insecure #casualwork cited as factors"

    "I don't think the #wages are the issue, I think it's the after-hours work. I think after COVID people just don't want to do it any more."

    I bet if you offered people $250k a year they'd do it. So yeah, it's the wages.
