Been in Ohio all week. First to Cincinnati and now I am in Columbus, but I drove here from Oklahoma. Every single gas station I stopped at, and every restaurant.....just fucking everywhere has a help wanted sign. Some even say start today.
I have never seen so many places fighting for workers.
Don't really know what to make of it. I get some goats would say....they are shit jobs. While that could be the case it is a job.

This happened a while back, early 2000s.. Like, early GWB timeframe.
Minimum wage was $5.25, I believe. Every fast food joint, etc. was advertising, "Starting wages $9!/hr!" "Starting wages $11/hr!" "Benefits included!" "We pay for school!"
