It seem to me that something has got to give in this economy. I am seeing the effects of the lack of workers from my own operation to the deli counter at the local grocery store.
Small business is forced to raise base wages and offer some benefits.
Many around here are offering signing bonuses. This will have to have an impact on the cost of goods and services. It will also cause more entrepreneurs to give up on their dream because they can't compete in this business climate. The latest government report says that 44 million or so Americans don't have health insurance. It seems the insurer wants out of the small group plans.
