I know a couple HR directors at local companies. They need a variety of workers, skilled and unskilled, advanced degree down to not even requiring a HS diploma. Good benefits, good wages, opportunities for advancement, vacation, 401K match. Companies are known for being diverse and inclusive. Mixed race work forces. Despite extensive advertising and other methods they can’t find people, period.
I also know our city has a high unemployment rate among minority groups.
Explain.

Still a problem around here (which the Republicans refuse to acknowledge)is that many child care facilities have only reopened partially, if at all.
Biden has a plan for that, but…you know…Manchin…Republicans
The issue of child care is gaining more attention under President Joe Biden. The White House allotted nearly $40 billion of its $1.9 trillion COVID-19 relief package to address what Biden called an “acute, immediate child care crisis." Those funds will partly go toward making child care more affordable amid skyrocketing pandemic prices.

“The test of our progress is not whether we add more to the abundance of those who have much; it is whether we provide enough for those who have too little.” – FDR, Inaugural Address, January 20, 1937.
