It's Going Down

Back to Work? Why Are So Many Jobs Going Unfilled?

Anti-capitalist researchers Gifford Hartman and Robert Ovetz join the It’s Going Down show to discuss the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on waged workers, how they have fought back over the past year, and also why so many businesses are finding it so hard to fill unstaffed positions as the economy is on the verge of re-opening. Are workers just ‘lazy’ as Republicans content, or are they in fact ‘striking with their feet? Holding off on returning to work in the hopes of getting better wages and conditions?
