Walmart Dangles $110,000 Starting Pay to Lure Truck Drivers The retailer has also started training workers from other departments to become truck drivers to grow its in-house fleet https://www.wsj.com/articles/walmar...t-truck-drivers-11649336400?mod=hp_lista_pos5 excerpt: Walmart Inc. is raising starting pay for in-house truck drivers to as much as $110,000 a year and expanding a program that trains its existing workers to become drivers. The company, in a bid to keep its supply chain running smoothly, is setting starting salaries for its truck drivers between $95,000 and $110,000 a year, up from an average starting salary of $87,000, said a Walmart spokeswoman. The internal training program will offer workers in other Walmart roles a 12-week course to become certified truck drivers and join the company’s internal fleet, the company said. The push comes as the trucking industry continues to grapple with challenges in recruiting drivers even as wages for truck drivers have risen steadily throughout the Covid-19 pandemic, though some data shows freight demand may be cooling. Last month, the trucking industry lost 4,900 jobs, the first monthly decline in nearly two years, federal labor statistics show. The decline was in contrast with job gains in the service industry, including the travel sector, and other parts of the logistics industry such as warehousing. Walmart and other large retailers have grown significantly by revenue during the pandemic as demand for items including household goods and building materials soared, creating the need for more supply-chain workers. At the same time, the higher levels of demand, production bottlenecks and port delays have resulted in supply-chain snarls. And so far, large retailers have been able to push up wages for hourly workers and other roles without denting their profits. more at the link
That's more proof that the economy is doing very well. Walmart is raising wages because of both increased demand and also because they have made large profits. That's how an economy is supposed to work.
I still think using TikTok "stars" and other influencers to try to get the Administrations message out was a bizarre and bad idea.

Your crap you are spewing here is obviously meant for people who don’t actually watch these videos. You watch the videos and it looks normal. Joe Biden is old??? Who gives a sh$t?? Yeah… his approval rating are down too… wow… except for the fact that it’s progressive liberals who are the ones saying he’s not doing enough for them. Does that suddenly mean they’ll be voting for Trump in 2024? If you are just looking for excuses to vote for the corrupt insurrectionist then have the balls to just say you are done with democracy and prefer an autocrat like Trump. Otherwise at least be genuine in your criticisms of Biden. The “he’s senile ahhhh” campaign is a waste of dead air space.
