[QUOTE="Northeast Stinger, post: 815000, member: 1640"] Sounds like a tough labor market for you. In my neck of the woods we lost a lot of green card, immigrant and seasonal workers during Covid. This impacted primarily health care, hospitality, labor, transportation and the food chain. Nationally as much as 18% of the economy relies on foreign born workers. We fit the profile For us, for some reason, these workers have not come back. Restaurants can’t open full time, our local markets are short of food items, our builders can’t get enough workers or supplies, and the ripple through our economy is impacting everyone. Conversely, everyone I know is more flush than they have can ever remember, the tourists are flooding into town and it seems like lots of people are spending money like crazy. Housing is tight. I keep telling my studio partner she could make a fortune renting out a room. Houses are being bought sight unseen and well over asking price. I remember from college economics that when you go from a recession to a rapidly expanding economy you get glitches in the labor pool, uneven recovery and anomalies in the data. That seems to be the case right now. [/QUOTE]
