I disagree with you Grand Locust. There may be some truth to your comment, but there are also LOTS of people, young & old who choose NOT to work because they make so much money from staying at home in a government provided dwelling and popping out babies! They get plenty of welfare & EBT that they’d rather NOT work! If people were required to do some kind of work for their free hand-outs, then maybe there wouldn’t be a shortage of workers! The want to complain about minimum wage, but you have to start somewhere! Minimum wage jobs aren’t meant as a career. You have to apply yourself either physically, mentally or both in order to move up in the world!

Grand Locust,
I think also that there is a generation out there that thinks the government will take care of them for the rest of their lives. Why should they work when the government pays for their housing, food and medical costs? Some people are expecting $15.00 an hour to start working at a fast food restaurant.
What ever happened to good ol hard work. I think its a thing of the past.

Talk to a small business owner right now. He or she will tell you that for the last six months they have been unable to find employees. Wages are raised and still no qualified people. The simple truth is that America’s birthrate is below replacement and to compound that problem the largest bubble of population in America’s history, the babyboomers, are retiring in massive numbers, as legal immigration has also been throttled down where the American labor pool over the next ten years are going to have huge labor shortages. This means unqualified employees are going to slip into jobs where training and discipline are essential for public safety. There are solutions, but they are politically unpopular, so jail employment is going to be a tinderbox.

And the psychological damage you receive will be included in your pension…but only if you work for 20 or more years. If you’re there for a year and you’re a half way normal human and you can’t handle being in such a corrupt and toxic environment then you’re just cut off. The sad thing is by the time you leave you’ll realize the staff is more evil and corrupt than the inmates. Enjoy
