Thank you, Walmart

[Jedi Flopper]

I saw a glimpse of the power of the marketplace coming back from a Thanksgiving trip. A Walmart in Louisiana was begging to pay people $9.50 an hour or more if you have experience. The Wendy's was closed at 6:00 PM because they were begging for workers too. There was a sign up in the window offering $250 per week in bonus pay for people willing to come to work.

Why are they paying unskilled labor so much? Because the hurricane chased most of them away and now there is a huge shortage. Supply and demand work every time.
