Yes, but it’s for entry level jobs. Fast food, customer service , etc.
A lot of people (with qualifying dependent children) got a lot of money through income tax returns and stimulus payments- and quit working. Families received an insane amount of SNAP benefits.
If they were used to just making ends meet pre-Covid, they made it out pretty good during the peak. I figure by now they should be ready to get back to work. People died. People relocated. People pursued other jobs.
