The Bureau of Labor Statistics February Job Opening and Labor Turnover (JOLTS) Survey today showed President Biden’s worker shortage remains near historic highs with more than 11 million job openings.
How did we get in this mess?
President Biden discouraged work and continues to threaten crippling tax hikes that will land on working families and Main Street businesses.
Small businesses are still desperate for workers and are having to pass higher prices onto consumers. And with experts warning we’re either on the verge of – or already in – wage-price spiral, nearly 60 percent of American families are concerned “a great deal” about rising prices.
Worse, there is growing consensus among economists that our economy is headed toward a recession.
