Add Covid firings for claiming bodyily autonomy to your factors. Aside, the issue pre-dates Covid. In a budget work session with the previous fire chief, it was stated that the rank and file on average have more experience than the required officer(s) on the truck, the former simply prefer being fire fighters rather than administrators. No surprise there, the same applies to the private sector and the quasi public/private sector we still tag Corporate America. Supervisory roles require a certain temperament few possess, even fewer have it backed with a competent skill set. Even so, if a sector as highly structured as the public or corporate sector isn't gearing up its willing best and brightest early on then that's an epic fail on its part. Jobs? By and large Corporate America was reporting record profits during the lockdown, sans leisure and hospitality, partially from direct stimulus funding from the fed and indirectly from customers that received stimulus monies from the fed. It was the small and mid-sized business that took the hit, they still are. It is only now that the knock-on effects are manifesting up the food chain at the big corporates level with, as you mention, layoffs and hiring freezes. Meanwhile, a Lot of ARP monies have yet to be spent by the states, counties, schools etc., and the 'spend it or lose it' contingent is financing the more liberal than the past budgetary policies (i.e. earnings cap suspensions) under the umbrella of rolling 'State of Emergency' declaratins for every sniffle and snowflake. But here we are, reconciling "unspent" monies against a $6-$7 trillion stopgap created out of nothing. Insane. Yet, more ether money is still being "budgeted". i.e. CHIPS Act, but no mention of the hundreds of billions spent by the tech related sector on stock buybacks over recent decades rather than actual capital expenditures on American soil. "Corporate Capitalist"? Far from it. As for the establishment's rosy labor stats, it's being called out for what it is...b.s.. i.e. Amazon layoffs 10,000, but they almost doubled their labor force by 800k during covidstaria piggybacking on stimulus monies. There's a heck of a lot people that will lose a job when, not if, the labor market returns to the mean. But its full extent will not be seen in the establishment stats because of its methodology... one person working three pt jobs to offset the one full time lost is counted as three New jobs. That same person loses one of those pt jobs it will not effect the unemployment rate because that person is still employed.
