Yes @Kachina624 they can't fill the jobs because people don't want those jobs.  It's a job mismatch, need for child care, fear of disease, things that affect everybody.  The studies show terminating unemployment benefits drove very few people to work..  It's a very disruptive period with the pandemic.  I am taking a sabbatical myself, so I relate.  (And I am not collecting unemployment.)

I think the bottom line,people just don't want to work.with un employment checks going out who wants to work.I really am thinking twice about ordering here,unless I really need the item.Amazon has drivers all over the country they deliver very fast.


So people don't want to work with unemployment checks, except for the Amazon drivers?

@NYCLatinaMe  You are so right!  Need for child care, job mismatch, and especially fear of the disease.  Working in retail, restaurants and many other lower paying jobs put people at a higher risk.  I have friends who themselves are healthy but fear transmitting the disease to their compromised family members, elderly parents, and have children who are too young to get vaccinated.  It's not all about collecting unemployment.

Q shipping has been an issue well before Covid…to me it began when the Q bought or connected with HSN. Also, the quality of many products has declined. I could go on but shipping is what I’m concerned with right now.

Re: Why is QVC having trouble with shipping right now?

I saw a item on TV last week about many of the disappearing workers were taking advantage of on-line  study for a better job while they were getting the extra unemployment.  I think that is a good thing.
