I see, you forgot to say Union and corporate soulless husk. They can't be bothered to upvote you on just facts alone.

The job market is trying to correct but it's going to take a long time.

After a decent inflation push blue collar wages have to come up or people just starve to death and people aren't very fond of that.

Honestly some of that lower-end boost is probably work from home bolstering the job market is bringing white collar jobs into areas that are deficient.

What I haven't figured out yet, as hell New York City and San Francisco haven't managed to completely outsource all their work to Kentucky, Ohio and Tennessee. You should be able to hire developers out of there for less than half the big city rates.
