Driving back from Reno, we went through an open (green light) lane at the agricultural inspection station. Instead of inspector in the booth there was a sign said "Hiring".

Can't vouch for veracity but...

General Dynamics has been running a lot of help-wanted ads for their Electric Boat operations (sub building) on TV around here, it's about an hour away from here.
These are union trades jobs, they are basically the top of the heap for plumbers, electricians, steamfitters, carpenters, etc. etc. Top dollar, full benes, retirement, etc. etc. And they can't fill them.
Know anybody who's worked there? Lots of reasons they're not filling those.
Google says 1:18. Straight up 95 to Providence then east on 195 about 20-25 minutes
ILWU (International Longshore Workers Union) contract is up first week of July. They are notorious for working half as hard as they normally work in the months leading up to a contract getting signed. I expect them to pull the same crap this year. You will be able to read the tire sidewall on a yard hosteler or gantry crane, they will be going so slow. Then the massive backlog will require months and months of OT to dig through. And yes, they get their new contract rates backdated to when the last contract expired. So if they go from $100/hr to $110/hr but the contract doesn't get signed until September, they get it backdated to the new rate from July when the current contract expires. It truly is a nice gig if you can get it.
They're one of the strongest unions around here too. They'll slow down to delay an offload so an extra shift has to get called in. That shift will have the remaining work done in an hour or two, then go home and get full pay.
Need to have a card carrying relative, or have a respected member recommend you to get a job. Set for life from there.
Piece in the NYT yesterday. Apparently the record resignations in late 2021 are a statistic that only goes back to Dec 2020--so the resignations are the highest in a year, not in a decade or a century. Resignations weren't counted between 1980 and Dec 2020 because the Labor Dept didn't have the money to do the survey. From 1930 to 1980 they did a very similar survey using slightly different methodology and compared to those numbers the "record" number of resignations now are actually very similar to resignations then. With the exception of WWII, when record numbers of men quit their jobs. I believe the Selective Service had something to do with that.

A local high school with one of the largest endowments in the country is hiring new staff at $22/hr but when the current staff complain about making almost 25% less, they were told to pound sand........
Hope they all quit.

"Offer valid for new customers only."
This school has about $500,000,000 in its endowment. A $5/hr raise may cost them an extra $1,000,000 a year. Suck it up.
