But not Labor Short

I turned into the drive thru of the local fast food restaurant, waited my turn to get to the speaker, waited some more to reach the window and saw this sign that amplifies the customer service experience of late.  If you want service, be patient.  

Why is the world short staffed? 

Is it that there are not enough people to work?  “In 2020, the U.S. Census Bureau counted 331.4 million people living in the United States; 258.3 million were adults, 18 years or older.  They represent 77.9% of the population”. I venture to guess that a large majority of these employable adults have redefined “work.” 


Work is a means to an end; sometimes loosely defined, oftentimes limber, and usually impermanent.  It is rent so I can pursue my interests.  It is an airfare.  It is the inventory for my home business.  Since the pandemic, work seldom supersedes family or self.  


We have to create a world where labor, and the pursuit of work, can coexist with living. 


Work on demand using the Aflashout app.  It’s good for job seekers.  It is great for business.
