Restaurants struggle to re-staff post-pandemic, and while Republican pundits posit that more generous unemployment benefits are to blame, workers are taking a stand and demanding jobs that provide more than just enough pay – or often not enough pay – to make ends meet. #DailyShow #TrevorNoah #LivingWages

ReplyRemember that if the minimum wage had tracked with productivity since it was introduced in 1938, it would currently be approximately $24. If it had tracked with cost of living increases, it would be approximately $32.
ReplyA lot of people are creating their own jobs
ReplyTrevor pls tell a restaurant company to make a visa for me I will pay my flight.
ReplyLove this!
ReplyAsk any drive thru worker if they’ve ever had food thrown back at them. Its not hard to figure out why people don’t want to go back to work at restaurants.
Replyim one of two cooks who is still around and we are both ready to quit for months we have been understaffed.
ReplyCost of everything has gone up but salaries remain the same? No thats not logical
ReplyWe sent them so much money! No you just giving a % of whats owed!
Reply“No one wants to be exploited anymore.” That’s what the signs you said. If Americans even are fed up with wild capitalism, I guess that’s the end of an era.
ReplyMinumum wage is 7.5$ in usa So fckin pay more than minimum wages to atract workers

ReplyRemember this jobs arn’t for you to live on it’s a stepping stone. 15 is too much
ReplySee I thought a free market was based off of supply and demand. If the demand for employment outpaces the supply shouldn’t the employers be paying more instead of starving people into toiling at their jobs do you know begging for scraps or starving?
ReplyThat’s why they’re called jobs and not careers.
ReplyAin’t that the truth. You tell ’em, Mr. Noah.
ReplyTotally agree. Hotel and restaurant job is too long working hours with low wag. It’s so true…
ReplyHmmmm, have they considered…paying more instead of being punks?
ReplyAnd then we give everybody a Basic Income.
ReplyYes yes yes!
ReplyAmericans have to stop being so cheap and only spending money with big stores and chain restaurants. Then maybe local owners can pay better
ReplyI made bank tending bar. $10 per hour plus tips. My tips on a usual night was $100 or more. For a 6 hour shift.
If your not making bank get a job that does.
I ran the numbers and disallowing profit percentage the cost of raising the wage to $15.00/hour at McDonald’s is $0.10 per big mac.
ReplyMy favorite locally owned restaurant has had no serious problems. While I haven’t been there in awhile myself, I know they are still going strong because I use the Untappd app and so I am constantly getting notifications whenever they tap something new. Gosh, I wonder why they have no problem getting workers… Just kidding, we all know why.
ReplyBeen a long time I haven’t laughed so much xD

ReplyRemove the tipping culture and pay the wait staff more. Increase the menu rates if you have to.
Reply6:26 illions and billions served
ReplyPeople found other jobs that pay them better.
ReplyPeople were able to find better jobs and think about what they want in life, because of UI or stimulus. Now imagine what a UBI would do. Automate the BS jobs and let people move onto meaningful work.
ReplyThe “Terminator” reference was HILARIOUS
ReplyRepublicans are so backwards. Weren’t they the ones that said those jobs were supposed to be for teens, NOT for adults supporting a family. Yet they wanna say “People don’t wanna work”
Adults don’t wanna work jobs meant for “teens”
Lets b real, we all know the pay is that low because black people dominate the service industry, and always have
ReplyAlso, the people who work BOH are sometimes undocumented workers. I guess they forgot they deported all of them.
Reply“Nobody wants to work anymore” more like “Nobody wants to work for a job that doesn’t pay them a living wage anymore.” To be paid minimum wage in the restaurant business is terrible. They deserve more than the minimum wage.
ReplyThere’s a Subway near me that shut down with notices on the door that says they can’t find workers.
ReplyBad business employees vote by feet, better companies hire them.
Replyno idiot its the government giving free money and doing universal incomes that no one wants to work.
ReplyI went through a Steak ‘N Shake drive through, yesterday, and the Franchise Partner was working the window. I hope this trend continues so that all these corporations realize exactly how essential the employees are.
ReplyIf only there was a robot to replace you, Trevor. We could get some legitimate insights into economics and be funnier at the same time. But props nonetheless, you grind the hustle hard.
ReplyExactly! These Senators and Congress Members do NOT EARN their Paycheck!
Replyif you make $10.00 hr for 40 hrs that’s only $400 a week take out taxes and you’re lucky to get $300 take rent of $700 month + utilties yada yada yada
ReplyThey want workers, the answer is easy. Pay more. If they really believe in capitalism, they should understand the basic concept of supply and demand. The demand for labor is high and suplly is low. That means costs increase. It is that simple.
ReplyMcDonald’s “Owned” stores will raise wages and offer more Benefits. NOT franchises that use the McDonald’s Logo! Those employees are SOL!
ReplyWhy can’t restaurants find workers? The government will pay you more money to stay at home and do nothing. Duh.

Replytrevor.exe has encountered a fatal error and has been forced to close. Would you like to send a report?
So you were able to provide all this. But chose not to because – wanting more and more.
ReplySince Republicans and democrat krysten Sinema don’t support minimum wage. Then workers deserve to hold out for better pay, take all the time you need and shame on states that are taking away the $300. All this means less money added to local economy. It will force restaurants to finally pay better wages with benefits.
ReplyDefine living wage… there is a huge difference between oh yeah a living wage for a single person and oh yeah I need a LIVING Minimum wage job for me and my 3 kids.
Reply“People don’t want to make less money than they do now!” These idiotic republicans are so dumb, congresspeople should be paid 7.25 and see how much they complain about people not wanting to work.
ReplyThey literraly showed a lady with like 6 kids saying her one low skill job can’t pay the bills. GEE I WONDER WHY…. I hate when news organizations say this stuff. Would you like to bring me on air and tell how my engineering job isn’t paying me enough and I can’t afford my 5 million dollar mansion and fleet of 10 classic cars?
ReplySome of those people died.
ReplyLastly….. People have no idea what servers have to put up with from the public, my joke was always that I was a therapist. I’ve had people be so abusive to me, and you can’t do anything except take it because this is the United States. Restaurant workers and fast food workers should make way above minimum wage, nobody can even keep up anyway in this economy it’s crazy but also these people get shat on so much by the American public
