A country of roughly 330 million has more than 9 million job openings, and 9.5 million unemployed.
Three years ago, before Democrat Joe Biden was the president, while the Republicans still held a majority in the Senate, The Saturday Evening Post wondered if "The American work ethic gotten worse."
"Have Americans lost their willingness to apply their noses to the grindstone, or to work hard for anything they get in life?".
According to the Labor Department, there was a record high of 9.2 million job openings in May, and 9.5 million jobless in June.
ZipRecruiter reckons as many as 15 million jobs need to be filled.
Democratic Party newsletters such as the New York Times and Washington Post say the problem is that Americans don't want to go back to low-wage jobs and "Terrible" working conditions.
This ignores our value system that says performing even the most humble job is more virtuous than living on handouts, and dismisses a fact we all instinctively know - that "Getting paid not to work can be addictive."
