"Following Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell’s hawkish message at the annual Jackson Hole symposium, Atlanta’s Fed Bank President Raphael Bostic expanded on the economic "pain" Americans should brace for."

Jackson Hole is the perfect metaphor for the income inequality that is crushing this country. Small businesses in Jackson are hurting because ranch owners, newly wealthy remote workers and land developers have snapped up all the housing property, leading to a huge shortage of any low income housing. (low income being a relative term) The result is that prospective workers are not willing to commute 3 hours round trip for minimum wage jobs and everyone in Jackson complains that there are no workers to staff restaurants, hotels, rafting concessions, etc., because there is no housing, other than limited seasonal dorm-style housing for college students, but nothing for someone looking to start a family or pay off the remaining $180,000 of their student loans.

A [report]('https://www.nfib.com/content/press-release/economy/nfib-jobs-report-nearly-half-of-small-business-owners-still-cant-fill-job-openings/') from the National Federation of Independent Business (NFIB) found that small businesses across the country continue to[SIZE=7] raise wages[/SIZE] to keep employees and fill a [SIZE=7]historically high level of job openings, [/SIZE]but are still struggling to fill jobs.

Nearly half or 49% of owners reported job openings they could not fill, down just one point from June and two points from May’s 48-year record high, suggesting the labor shortage remains frustrating for many small business owners as they confront [inflation]('https://www.investopedia.com/terms/i/inflation.asp') and other economic headwinds.

Twenty-one percent of owners said that labor quality was their top business problem, down two points from June, while 9% said labor costs were their top business problem.

Overall, 64% of owners reported hiring or trying to hire in July. Of those trying to hire, 91% of owners reported few or no qualified applicants for their jobs. To keep employees, 48% of business owners reported raising compensation, just two points below the 48-year record high set in January.

Forty-two percent of owners have openings for skilled workers and 21% have openings for unskilled labor. Sixty percent of the job openings in construction were for skilled workers and 67% of construction firms reported few or no qualified applicants.
