Resignations are the highest on record — up 13 percent over pre-pandemic levels. There’s a surge in retirements with 3.6 million people retiring during the pandemic, that's over 2 million more than expected. And there’s been a boost in entrepreneurship that has caused the biggest jump in years in new business applications. There is a fundamental mismatch between what industries have the most job openings now and how many unemployed people used to work in that industry pre-pandemic. For example, there are 1.8 million job openings in professional and business services and fewer than 925,000 people whose most recent job was in that sector. There’s a similar mismatch in education and health services, where there are 1.7 million job openings and only 1.1 million people whose last job was in that sector. The Indeed.com job portal showed more than 2,000 job posts in the Fairfax County, Va., area for child care teaching assistants. Most paid $12 to $13 an hour, a bit less than many nearby fast food restaurants and retail stores. Nationwide, most industries have more job openings than people with prior experience in that sector, Labor Department data show. businesses are demanding that experience and low wages with unreasonable expectations.
low wage
degrees required for "entry level" positions
part time hours only
require full time availability for any schedule (meaning no second job)

here is an example of what is really happening

all the extra has already been cancelled, no more unemployment bonus, so that's not it.

Maybe people have changed during the pandemic, they don't want to go out and drink, party, when they are worried about food and shelter. The only thing that matters now is getting the pandemic behind us, once that is done then you can start rebuilding the entertainment industry. It is quite plain that the Mills aren't as interested in a party as they are about the future. The pandemic has changed things maybe for the better.

Yes it is not so much that the employers are truly desperate for workers, as much as they miss their slaves.

My original plan was to to this for roughly 90 days or until the first of 2022. Nothing happening is changing my operational timeline, it looks like I will be able to go back to my retirement mode. Despite all the gloom and doom predictions of hosts I haven't destroyed the local entertainment structure. At one venue they are going to hire a band on a regular basis after my tour is over. So I have made work for, however, many persons are in the band hired. The reason I'm sticking to my original timeline is simple, with vaccinations and now medication available to fight the virus, we are finally putting the pandemic in the rear view mirror. That is at least in California which has strong mandates that are enforced.

I want to take this time to wish everyone a Merry Christmas. Sorry I have been so busy I just haven't had the time to poke my head in the tent. I will currently be ending my tour after January 1st, despite the warnings of gloom, and doom nothing happened, a few more people from the entertainment local community now have jobs for the New Year. So for Alan and Mr.Scott I'm making them a present of quitting for awhile?

P.S. Happy New Year also. Just baked the pies, and tomorrow the feast, have to get up early.

Merry Christmas and a very Happy New Year LR!! Here's wishing you, your family, and your friends the very best during this holiday season. We can only pray that the new year will be a prosperous and safe time for everyone near and far! Take care of yourself and those around you ......

Merry Christmas, LR.

Currently I am without a gig and it feels good, after over 90 days in the saddle I'm ready for a rest. I have to admit that it was tough but I got through it, during the pandemic. Now ,however, I see that we are not over the covid-19 just yet, so I'm back in a defensive mode. There are many problems that need to be solved in our supply chains, so the goods and services can flow freely. On the up side all of the non-profits so far have weathered the medical storms, and are ready for the New Year.


P.S. A Happy New Year to all!

I don't know about it, but I like to play video games. And not only the most modern, but also those that evoke nostalgia. Now I'm playing the free game tiles of the unexpected https://game-game.com/982/ on a cool site and I'm having a lot of fun.
