Those employers laid off or fired their workers to begin with so I certainly have no capacity to feel for them when they complain nobody wishes to work for them for less, but its definitely also the case that many right now are opting for gig economy jobs rather than service jobs because both the pandemic, similar pay, and less micromanagement and having to deal with awful customers or managers. So even with the government distortion argument, its pretty clear these jobs need to make adjustments to their model to remain competitive in the job market. Ive seen some places around here start to offer hiring bonuses or advertising their relatively competitive starting pay, but nowhere seems to understand the working conditions are a huge part of the aversion.
