    Something has definitely changed

    Ya, the cost of living. If you’re offering a wage below the poverty line AND the labour is back breaking, you can’t possibly expect positive results.

      Eh, it’s not backbreaking… But I see what you’re saying. What do all the 20 y/o non college educated kids do now? I know not all of them are in a trade school.

        Ya, I get what you’re saying too. I don’t know what they’re doing, I’m not particularly dialed in with that demographic. I do know that logically, if the wage being offered can’t even cover rent then there really isn’t a point to doing it. Probably more efficient to do gig economy work, or something under the table, or crime to be honest.
