Lots of new jobs, but lots of them are part time, and lots of those are &quot;flexible schedules.&quot; So there&#x27;s a lot of churn, both within the day as part timers come in and out, and within the week as they get scheduled and cut. After a certain amount of productivity, you need motivated people to get more, and where&#x27;s the motivation, besides fear of losing a job, in that world.<p>And then there&#x27;s the further churn from people who have more than one flexible schedule job, and the inevitable day when they&#x27;re scheduled for both jobs. So they lose one job, and the employer eventually replaces them. Training and churn.<p>If more people had full time jobs with realistic chance of advancement, and therefore identity with the employer, I think productivity would increase nicely.
