“Recruitment of school bus drivers has become more difficult during the pandemic, said [PPS director of transportation Josh]Collins. When in-person classes ceased, drivers found other jobs or went on unemployment, which has been paying better than usual with the added stimulus bonuses.”

It's that way with restaurants too. Seeing all kinds of 'hiring' signs, but mostly at fast food places. Jason's is looking for people too.
F**k these insane trackers, this place is not a healthy debate of issues anymore, just a bunch of folks trying to outdo one another. Where is the cancel account button?
PEORIA, Ill. (WMBD)- A growing number of states have announced plans to opt-out of the federal boost to unemployment benefits and now some are calling for Illinois to follow suit.
If you drive around, odds are you’ll find a sign that reads “Now Hiring” outside a business.
“We could fit 250 people in here, 300, but if we don’t have the staff to cook or serve you, we have to shrink our restaurant,” said Pat Sullivan, Owner of Kelleher’s Irish Pub.
This is happening amid a shortage of workers that many businesses say they are seeing more than a year into COVID-19.
“They still have people on unemployment making more at home than they are working,” Sullivan said.
