COL increases are about the buying power of the salary, not the employees familial situation.
I was clearly talking about COL and not personal situations.

The large healthcare companies have raised the bar for entry level salaries. It has spilled over into other jobs as well. Young substitute teachers are demanding crazy salaries and getting them because schools are desperate.

My cleaning lady gets $15. What’s the national average for an undocumented menial position?
Dunno, but compare that to a legal job and they're doing very well.

Matter of time until tuition is raised to match other communities.

Amazing that it's held out this long.

it's called supply and demand.
No likes when their salary/ wages are criticized and have all sorts of reasons why they deserve the current market rate for their services, but they're happy to critique other industries.

When I’m done crying for the big businesses that took advantage of their employees. I’ll restart crying for the schools that pay and treat their teachers like trash.

No one's crying for anyone. You can do a long-term study to find out who overpaid,who underpaid etc. The current scene in Lakewood is that of a business boom-town. It has rippling effects across many areas. Starting salaries for young inexperienced office workers is one of them.

When i said im moving to lakewood i was told that ill get a pay cut to match lakewoods avg salary
If you're comparing to NYC, yes that's true. NYC has very high salaries to match the high cost of living.
I wonder what people who type "u" instead of "you" do with all their free time.

Can this thread title not be limited to Lakewood?
It's unfortunately not a very localized problem

Some might quibble with your use of “unfortunately” and “problem.”

Ok, that's my opinion, thats why I said this:
Can anyone honestly explain the other way of doing things?

Pay more doesn't help when it's a supply issue.

I tried that. I believe I'm very generous and so do my employees(at least I think so) I put the word out and advertise and barely get resumes.

So if I am understanding correctly, the issue is that entry level employees are asking too much, and mid-level employees are getting too little?

I’m not understanding, are you saying for the right price workers wouldn’t come? For 100K you won’t get workers?

The unemployment program might have accomplished what a minimum wage hike would have in a more organic fashion. Time will tell. And time will tell if it’s a good thing or bad thing.
