Is this secretly why they're combining open borders with state sponsored migrant convoys?

Unless we're individually doing headcounts, there's no way to know.
That said, take a look at what kind of jobs those vacancies are for. Entry level, low paying shift work mostly. The jobs paying $60k+/yr fly off the shelves and can't get filled quicker.
It is annoying when I see the one minimum wage worker who does almost all the work, and then turn around to see the literally line up of office people making over $120,000 who have nothing to do do except make themselves look impressive. 🙄
It's like the construction workers.
This was my last job at a parcel facility. Doing the work of 2-3 people for a couple bucks over minimum wage. Fucking warehouse manager just keeps putting shit on me and refuses to get me a helper. I was a lead of nobody.
Im sure the managers got their bonus at the end of the year for it, id get a 12.34$ walmart gift card because they used the money on the card to pay the taxes. Kinda fucking hilarious. Billion dollar entity, thanks guys.
The final straw was when I took my vacation and they paid me significantly less than minimum wage for my vacation hours. Fucking nova scotia, land of the corporations.
I quit after that, not going to kill myself for barely minimum wage for a bunch of suit assholes who dont actually care about anything other than their paycheck.
It's fascinating to me that there is a "shortage" of people who want to do the bare minimum while getting paid the bare minimum, far more people who would rather work harder and more creatively with their own "hustle" and make more money, yet there's an endless parade of people whining that "nobody wants to work anymore" and "too many young people are lazy" it's the complete opposite lmao, there's not enough people who want to flip burgers and scan groceries for peanuts, most would rather bust their ass working for themselves with their own small businesses and make more money
Exactly.
"I could flip burgers full time for $500 a week OR I could show my snatch on onlyfans for $5,000 a week from the comfort of my own home...."
Burger flipping pays $300 a week at the most.
Here in halifax, the cost of living is fucked, the workers shortage is real so they are immigrating in huge amounts of people and are now allowing foreign students to work more hours to make up for it. Where did everyone go?
Anyway, some of the fast food places are advertising for 15-16$ a hour. Minimum wage is 13.60 an hour, for "skilled labor".
At this point I may just go flip burgers part time, because all I can really do is part time work. Without getting my kidney/phosphorous levels figured out, I dont think its possible for me to work physical jobs for 60-80 hours a week like I used to. Not without sleeping more than 3-4 hours a night.
Ive worked some shity ass jobs here in HRM. Trashman, fabricating rubber vehicle mats, painting fuel tanks, carrying drywall. Mainly temp stuff and they all paid like 14$ an hour. But that was before the vaccine mandates. That was also another reason I had to leave the workforce. Besides the freon injury, I refused to get vaccinated with something that doesnt stop me from getting the disease, simple as that. But most jobs I have looked at now dont mention vaccination, so I guess I have a little more hope of finding a job than I did a year ago.
Why work these backbreaking warehouse jobs when I could flip burgers for the same amount of money. I used to laugh at these jobs for someone like me, a rather physically large/strong man. I should be in construction. But after being injured, ive accepted I wont be able to do the work I used to :(. I worked at a fast food place 20 years ago when I was a teenager, there were plenty of old people and people with disabilities. Now I understand why :(.
$14 an hour (burger flipping where I am, per the sign out front) x 35 hours a week (thanks, Obama!) is $490.
Maybe where you are, but that is NOT the case here in SE South Dakota. Know many companies who are struggling to fill min wage jobs, the $22/hr school bus jobs, the $22/hr pizza delivery jobs, and even jobs $60k, 80k+ in banking, medical, and manufacturing.
u hurd of the US Census?
Of course. Why would you believe that though? Is that one system they don't have control over?
wut believe?
