People just don’t want to work for shitty wages, no/shitty benefits and abuse from the public anymore. Also, there are a lot of people who have dropped out of the job market because it’s cheaper to stay home to take care of kids than pay for day care, etc.,. These people are not counted in the unemployment figures.
