Restrictions here in the Garden State are being lifted slowly, but there is a light at the end of the tunnel.

One problem here is a lot of places cannot find people to work. The unemployment 'bonus' seems to be keeping some people from looking or returning to work.

Amazon and Fedex/UPS have signs at curbside offering $15 to $22 per hr. for warehouse and package handling.

Restaurants are looking and saying no one is interested; the Jersey Shore amusements are looking; I heard $15 per hr, with a lot of 'freebees' thrown in. The shore areas usually have a lot of temp foreign students on visas, but the Fed Govt has some type of hold on the visas now.

One restaurant on the shore near me usually hires 40+ people for the summer season, and he only had 2 apply.
