    There is no labor shortage. It’s just the lack of good pay.

      it's really the cost of living here. some industries pay well but families are still struggling. politicians have had a long time to figure out how to lower the cost of living but all I hear are excuses.

      True, this. I was looking at the rate of pay for skilled jobs, and I can make more as a dishwasher in Hawaii! The islands' income is primarily service oriented. Either, or, the quality of life is worth it, but the housing crisis is a thing! What to do?

      in some states can get more income by working a bare minimum amount to still qualify for all the government handouts.

    It's the high rents, no more hard working locals. Only rich tech and real estate sales people and their tvr's. Why pay a mortgage on a home for an out of state owner?

    A quality of life and being able to address foundational needs are the bare minimum, let alone a realistic dream of a capacity to thrive. Younger generations are wising up to the disillusionment of the status quo continually bemoaning the same saturation and exploitation. Sentimentality and empty rhetoric can only take you so far when you have children to feed and the grass is literally greener due to a greater ecology of jobs and opportunities and not a desert of the same traffic and facade of touristic superficiality. Make Hawaii livable again.

    There is no labor shortage, there is a shortage of good compensated work. Why would someone decide to work and still be behind on everything? If the game is rigged the only winning move is to not play. These companies are thinking its 2002 and try to pay trash wages, 100k in 2000 equates to 300k in 2024 in Hawaii

      I'm a mainlander. My wife and I we're on the Big Island 3 weeks ago. Trip of a lifetime for us. We're not rich by any means. I've been a drywall contractor for 30 years. Tough row to how so to speak. If I could get a job in the building trades there I'd be there in a heartbeat. Not to retire. Just to keep on truckin! We have the same problem across the pond. The future does not look bright....

    Although, A.I. may very well be the only thing that remains functional in an ecological job desert. Perhaps the ultimate return on investment is in the infallible, autonomous, all complying, all non critical thinking, algorithmic reliable A.I. Can A.I. replicate the humanizing "aloha spirit"? Or does the future no longer place humanizing, humanistic, social interpersonal dynamics as valuable than raising a working force army of robots?

    Making Hawaii livable again. After a night's sleep, a better oriented solutions focused perspective, and endeavor to problem solve, perhaps the strategy here for youth retention aside from addressing the upstream problem of cost of living and limitation of resources to retain youth, is a reframe or rebranding of the so-called "incentives" to attract workers. What is the intrinsic value that speaks to the particular working populations? What are their unique needs and "'reasonable" motivations? A reasonable degree of certainty, a longer term pathway to self efficacy and agency, freedom, freedom, freedom, flexibility....a more dynamic, fluid, flexible way of making a living versus the traditional rigid, fixed, more stable, contractual, transactional ways of making a living....a restoration of trust in either establishments or a previous way of living....freedom versus imprisonment...youth want opportunity and hope and a return on self-effort...

      Job market is really bad in Hawaii. Low pay, don't want to give promotion, workload is for 3 people but you're only get paid 1 salary.

  • @ThumbdownMan
    @ThumbdownMan Месяц назад +6

    The answer is let everybody work part time on their own schedule. A lot of people can't work full time, so they don't work at all. Even seniors can work for just 1 hour a day if you let them. And A.I. can handle all the scheduling tasks for tracking all the multitude of part timers. Problem solved.

    The only incentive that matters is how much you are willing to pay your workers. If the job requires a degree or specialized training, then it should compensate the employee for obtaining that degree and/or specialized training. Stop paying skilled workers like their burger flippers at McDonald's!
