If it was the City be careful what you apply for.

You might want a carefree cleaning job and be running the whole show within 6 months because you turned up one day wearing lucky red on the one day a year Vinny roles into town. Be warned.

Re: Staff Wanted

This is the fall out from Furlough.
People on it which was fine whist their industry was shut down.
Many found alternative employment and had 2x incomes at the same time.

Most have stayed on with the new seemingly stable employment and not returned to the original Job when that re opened.

I don’t blame them looking after their own and they doing nothing wrong, but its it’s added further strain to those economies who can’t operate properly because of staff issues and people not returning to the job or industry.

Also Brexit. The young waitresses from Romania and Poland, who always looked beautiful, and had those lovely accents and were often quite flirty have now moved back or onwards. Their replacements are still beautiful and with lovely accents, but are stuck in Warsaw and Bucharest.

Re: Staff Wanted

My oldest daughter was contacted by a Agency ( we know the manager ) and asked did she have any friends who wanted some work, had to be 18 ( so we guessed it was bar work ) paying £9.50 a hour, she has been asked to work every night for the last 2 weeks and next 2 weeks ( she was pinged so had to turn down the last 8 days ) 3pm to 12

her and a few mates filled in the forms, then another Agency offered them work ( we guess the 1st agency has a mole who is passing details on to this other agency )

they just cannot get the staff for these events, be it the bar at gigs or running around at weddings

so she now has 4 X " 0 hour jobs " ( though her 2 swim teaching jobs have regular hours, but are not contracted ) which i know 0 hour contracts get a bad raps, but in the right place, they work well ( in this case as a student it does for her )

Hopefully wages going up 👍.
You might say prices will go up too. But surely that’s better than exploiting cheap foreign workers.
Some of which were trafficked and led into a life of slavery.

You're a migrant (like me) too. Do you feel exploited?

I certainly do not.
If I did work in comparable hospitality Stateside though..I’ve no doubt that it would certainly pay more than it does back home.

Did you know the federal minimum cash wage in hospitality is $2.13? And the federal minimum cash plus tip wage in hospitality is $7.25? https://www.dol.gov/agencies/whd/sta...um-wage/tipped

In the UK the minimum wage for a 21+ year old is GBP8.36 ($11.36 equivalent). https://www.gov.uk/national-minimum-wage-rates

On the modern slavery point, don't you think that most are not EU nationals coming through legal channels but more likely people entering illegally with no legal right to work?
