That's not the place we are in now, unless things are drastically different where I live. We have hundreds of openings of 100k+ IT jobs that we barely even get anyone applying for. Restaurants are often closed a couple days a week or shut down randomly because they can't hire enough staff and are offering much more than min wage.
