Posted on our news in lower Michigan.
Petoskey Job Fair Sees 60 Businesses, Only 4 Job Seekers There was 500 job openings
Something is wrong
The businesses were giving sign on bonuses, and one place was paying $20.00 / hour for dishwashers.
24 years Army Medical Corps
I only want to be known as:
A great husband, a good trapper, and a great steward of the land.

We hire 25 in the summer as a painting crew. I have always had more applicants than positions. This year, 9 applicants. I think we're doing better than most.

There is also a cultural redefining of what individual achievement and individual happiness and worth equates to. Those who have young adults oftentimes seem frustrated "junior" doesn't seem to want for the same things mom, or dad, mom and dad, mom and mom, dad and dad, or extended family raising them wants. Each generation views the most recent generation before them as the standard against which life's lessons seem to be built on. My generation (American baby boomers) is the wealthiest generation in human history with no close 2nd place. The generation the baby boomers raised is now raising the newest generation and they as a generation have witnessed firsthand that human achievement in the form of "mo money" does not bring bliss. I don't understand it totally, but our children who are now 26 to 39 in age try to explain it to me.... Time off is key. Family time is more valuable than mo money. And on and on.
I'm not so sure it's not a pretty solid life plan. They all seem to be doing just fine. Besides, let's be honest. Baby boomers are insanely rich by world standards and how's the peace and harmony amongst all of it? I mean, here we is. Kum-ba-ya my Lord is just a song. Not too many looking to live it because with enough money they've decided they don't need to.
I always remember, the world didn't go to hades in a hand basket with "this" new generation! My grandpa (and yours) griped about the same thing way back when.
Blessings, Mark

Before the pandemic hit,every place around here had help wanted signs. So nothing has really changed. They had a lack of workers before and they have a lack of workers now. Tom

I have been thinking for a few years that hard work isn't all it's cracked up to be. I have been employed since I was 15. Worked hard at some hard jobs. Took night school, got certifications and licenses, advanced in my career. Eventually moved into the office, have my own secretary, and supervise almost 100 people in my department.
While doing that I built two pretty successful part time businesses that I run in the evenings and on weekends. We went on a few family vacations but very, very few. I missed days fishing, days taking out my boat, and time with my family and kids because I was the provider with responsibilities.
I was working hard so I could put something away and relax someday.
Well, I'm not far away from not having to worry and I now realize that somewhere along the way I got old. I'm not in terrible shape but I'm not anywhere near 18-year-old shape. Somehow, I pictured myself retired, financially stable, and still 18. I didn't realize getting old happened so fast.
If I could do it again...I might do it differently. I could have relaxed a little and enjoyed the journey more.

As I said, whether we as the 50-80 year olds on this here puter, like it or not, there is a cultural shift occurring that didn't start with Trump. Or Obama. Or Bush. I just had this conversation today with Donna and my financial advisor. As in, how much will you be leaving to your heirs in your wills? So there you have it. We are told by culture.... you have 70 good years. 60. 50 more. Only 30. 20 good ones left. Stash it. Pile it up. Then leave it to your kids.
Um, Donna and I will be joining the likes of David Greene and his wife, who started Hobby Lobby, and who is one of the wealthiest men in America, to say.... money ain't everything. If it was, Hollywood, pro sports, and politicians would be role models. Is it wrong for younger folks to call "bogus" on the plan to pile it up in leu of their own plans?
Mind you, money pays the bills. And more. I like new MB550's and I like new buggies and new trucks. But my kiddos drive beaters and enjoy 'em. They stash some cash and call it good enough. It's not how I was raised, but I watch the stress level of them and theirs and it's not all bad. At all. It's not bad. It's just different. It's not lazy. It's just different.
It's the new 'Merica!
Blessings, Mark

Work enough at something you like to live comfortably provide for your family and enjoy life with your family. If you work too much when you are young and raising a family,life will pass you by. You have to set your priorities and take the time to enjoy life and smell the roses as they say. Excess money and things is irrelevant and is not the same as living life to the fullest.
Forget that fear of gravity-get a little savagery in your life.
