Help Wanted: Too Many Jobs and Not Enough Workers

Apr 12, 2021

Interviews reveal the prevailing attitude: it pays darn well to not work! The trillions of dollars in government stimulus are now incentivizing potential workers not to seek gainful employment, but to sit back and collect the next “stimmy check” for not working.  The chart below, from Bank of America’s Global Research department, plots the National Federation of Independent Business (NFIB) “Hard to Fill” job openings category.  As can be seen, the current level of 40 is the highest in the history of the index.
