Steak and Shake here is actually the highest paying fast food joint in town. My brother used to work there. 10 years ago, they were paying 12 bucks an hour. Sign says they’re hiring at 20.90/hr currently.
Heck the local Applebee’s has had a sing hiring at 21 an hour, 500 dollar a week bonus if you show up, totaling up to 4500 bucks if you work your shifts during those 90 days.
problem is the same as every where else. People in those lower paying jobs are now making what they were making while working or in some cases more. I don’t blame them for staying home but this isn’t a wage issue.
