It’s great that you are fighting for living wages! As I read your response, I had a few thoughts. I think some people only want to work part-time in the post-COVID world, and for dignified wages, as you so rightfully say is necessary. During COVID, many people slowed down and found more balance. I think many want to continue that going forward and want a job that allows them enough flexibility to spend time with their kids, take care of their mental health, and develop other hobbies and skills. I also think many people want work from home jobs. And many people have learned new skills and some have started their own businesses. Some of the hiring difficulties are not even about wages but are simply that there are not enough people who want to or are available to do many jobs.
