Food jobs are easy to find. Any low-skill job is. Some of the harder jobs to find are being filled with people who don't have the right experience, so service is suffering. I've seen this with contractors as we try to get our house fixed after some water damage that happened in 2022. People/Contractors won't show up ... months have expired. The overall project manager has ZERO training in being a project manager and his mistakes have wasted at least 3 months for what is going to be less than 7 days of actual work. The project manager does bring other, necessary, skills, to the team and he just needs 3 days of intensive PM training to have better control over all the different efforts he's been assigned.

"Demand for workers is still strong and the labor market is largely continuing to chug along nicely,'' said Nick Bunker, research director at the Indeed Hiring Lab.

The US job market is amazingly resilient for awhile now

Despite the Fed trying to slow inflation down, despite the recession fears, it still chugs along

Some amount of that is present but the beauty of a market economy is it all gets sorted in the end. I'd much rather be in the US position than the Chinese one of dealing with party failures.

Never be like CCP China.
