The whole 'record low unemployment' thing doesn't match what I'm seeing at all
My crew tried to hire a couple of new guys for a job in Boise last week, and the only applicants were people who ghosted the interview or wanted $40 an hour with zero experience. The news says everyone's working, but on the ground it feels like a total disconnect. Anyone else in a trade seeing this weird gap between the stats and reality?

Man, that's wild. What were you actually offering to pay for that Boise job?

Yeah, that Boise story is super familiar (we had the same ghosting problem last month). Honestly, you might have to bump the posted rate to filter out the unrealistic asks upfront.
