It seems like nowadays people are less willing to take on new challenges and become self-employed, instead opting for the security of remaining employed by a large corporation. Furthermore, many people are seemingly not as motivated as they once were due to the various pandemic restrictions which have caused a lack of inspiration and ambition in the marketplace. This has created difficulty for small businesses in terms of recruiting qualified employees to fill vacancies, as well as maintaining employment levels amidst competing corporations.

It seems like people have become much more unwilling to work, even during a time when there are desperate needs in many businesses for additional help. With so many unemployed individuals and such a large number of companies struggling to hire new staff, it appears as though potential applicants are simply not submitting resumes or bothering to take jobs that are offered. It could be argued that the rise of unemployment benefits and other assistance programs have created an environment of abundance, allowing individuals who may have taken jobs in the past to be much more selective with their potential employment choices. With today's technology and increased remote job opportunities the U.S. labor market is becoming increasingly complicated, making hiring especially challenging for small business owners like myself who need dependable labor but cannot afford extended delays or uncertainties associated with recruitment efforts. As a result, businesses are unable to fully recover from COVID induced losses while individuals sit without job opportunities they should be able to obtain with their level of education and experience. Something needs to change - we can't go on like this!
