From the point of view of a disgruntled small business owner who is having difficulty hiring new employees, what would you say is wrong with people in today's world, specifically with the potential labor market in the U.S. during the time of COVID?

The biggest issue with the potential labor market in the U.S. is a lack of trust and uncertainty for people wanting to pursue work due to being caught in limbo between pre-COVID and post-COVID guidelines. People do not know what kind of regulations will be expected of them or what employment security they can count on, making it difficult to justify putting time and energy into seeking new employment opportunities when the risk is greater than the reward

From a small business perspective, finding qualified and reliable workers can be extremely difficult in today's world. It seems like many of the people available to work are either not willing to take the low-paying, physically demanding jobs that are commonly found at small businesses or they may just lack the necessary skills or attitude to be a productive member of an entrepreneurial team. Many employers have told me that it's become increasingly difficult during this COVID pandemic for potential employees to even pass a simple background check due to an ever-widening array of restrictions imposed by federal and state governments. As a result, small business owners are struggling with making up labor shortages caused both by poor employee attitudes as well as government regulations that often seem counterintuitive given the current sociopolitical climate.
