Within a week of the lockdowns there were contracting agencies sending out mass calls for contract jobs to make PPE offering minimum wages.
This also happened at 90% of companies because they saw a short term gain in lowballing among high unemployment.
Its predatory and not good for anyone in the long term.
Good for the businesses who get their PPE made cheap and can sell it at a premium.
Businesses are predatory in the best of times. They don't pay more because they have good hearts. A business will pay as little as it can get away with.
It's why tax breaks don't make jobs when you give them to big businesses. Demand makes jobs, which is money in the hands of the average joe, not money in the hands of big businesses.
