That is only going to get worse with Biden's $15 minimum wage.
We are rapidly pricing the US out of the job market.

Some of the jobs are pricing theirselfs out of business. Saw where a
couple of grocery stores in California closed up because the government
put in a $ 4 an hour hazard work pay.

The fast food places that were mostly maned by teenagers when I was

shelves, but bagged the groceries and even rolled them to the car and
put them in the car. Now the check out person only has to slid the
items over the computer interface and bag the groceries.
