This is a good sign, it means somebody is hurting for labor.
I don't see how how this fixes their problem either. They are still short on people to work.
Obviously this is anti worker behavior and it can't be tolerated
I'm not sure where you get that they're hurting for labor. In recent years, companies have mostly been laying people off or outright firing them, to downsize in favor of AI and automated replacements, while the CEOs pat themselves on the back with fatter pay raises for themselves and their own bank accounts.
And let's not forget about the orange menace, one of his favorite things to say and do is "You're fired!" to government workers.

Do tell me fellow lemming, what companies are actually hiring these days?
Unemployment numbers been running in historical low since covid and along with the demographic shift with boomer retiring.
Young workers entering the work and some feds are hurting but these numbers are barely impacting unemployment

That's 84k in labor force that's pushing 170m
Middle level hiring is brisk with expectation of tech along anything blue collar from factory work to services. This of course is regional just like housing market.
