Happy Friday! Let’s lighten things up with a spicy topic—salaries! Why do job listings still hide them? Imagine if we treated other things this way: ☕️Buying Coffee: "Price available upon successful sip!" 🍛Restaurant Menus: "Order first, then we’ll tell you the cost. 🎥"Movie Tickets: "Find out the price after the credits roll!" Transparency is key, folks! Let’s push for clear, upfront salaries and make job hunting a fair game. You won't catch me hiding a pay issue. Visibility matters. Does it to you? #FridayFun #SalaryTransparency #JobListings #FairPay #WorkplaceHumour

There were 866,000 accommodation and foodservices job openings in June, bouncing back from the 746,000 seen in May, which was the weakest reading since January 2021. Despite the uptick in the latest data, job postings in the accommodation and foodservices sector have cooled notably over the past year and a half, with the overall level normalizing dramatically from post-pandemic record highs.   Over the past three months, job openings in the sector have averaged 843,000, which is not far from the average seen in the 2017–2019 period (835,000). As such, job openings in the sector have essentially returned to pre-pandemic levels.   Meanwhile, accommodation and food services businesses hired just 678,000 workers in June, down from 789,000 in May and the weakest reading since April 2020. (Excluding the pandemic, it was the slowest hiring level since December 2014.) At the same time, there were 711,000 total separations in the sector in June, down from 771,000 in May and the lowest reading since October 2020. As such, labor market activity in the sector was challenged in June, with net hiring (or hires minus separations) of -33,000 for the month.

My white experience cont.. Next, there is the employment at Performance Foodservice. I got a job at performance foodservice as an order picker, which essentially consists of palletizing items from food vendors and getting them loaded on a truck. Not too long after being employed there, I injured my leg at the gym, just a pulled muscle. I got a doctor’s note because this would be proof of actual injury, and I asked if I could be accommodated with a different, less physically strenuous job for that time. HR stated no, and did not accept my doctor’s note. Due to the fact that new employees are only afforded five points there and I had already missed a day because life happens sometimes and there is nothing you can do about it, there was no way that I would keep that job after the injury because I was ordered not to work for the next five days. So, I applied for unemployment. The jobs previous to Performance foodservice didn’t fight unemployment, but Performance Foodservice did. They claimed that I quit the job for no reason having to do with work or for no appropriate reason. Wait. Things are not adding up here. Didn’t I injure myself, go to the doctor, obtain a doctor’s note, present said note to HR, and HR refuse to accept the doctor’s note? Yea, time to appeal the disqualification decision. So, I appeal it. The craziest thing. The whole record indicates that I injured myself and had this run out of points due to the fact that my doctor’s not had not been accepted, and therefore was terminated. How could any investigation conclude that I had quit the job with all that evidence showing that I was terminated for the aforementioned reasons? I think only a rigged investigation. But luckily I am diligent and satisfied my obligation to appeal, and the truth was revealed and I was granted unemployment while search for another job. But, first, you don’t accept my doctor’s note, then you fire me, then you tell unemployment that I quit the job where you clearly terminated me. What’s really going on? I don’t really think this has to do with race, these were all just white bosses, so it reminds me of those old movies where the black man is constantly persecuted by his white counterparts. I think that this just has to do with power. The power to take advantage of those in a position that warrants the most care, attention, and opportunity. Let’s just keep moving.

There were 771,000 accommodation and foodservices job openings in May, down sharply from 1,034,000 and 918,000 in March and April, respectively. While the labor market remains solid overall, these data suggest that job postings in the accommodation and foodservices sector have cooled notably in the past couple of months, with the overall level normalizing dramatically from post-pandemic record highs.   It is worth noting that the Job Openings and Labor Turnover Survey data can be highly volatile from month to month, and as such, one should not make too much of one month’s shift. As such, the June data will be closely watched to see if the large drop seen in May is sustained or possibly reversed, looking for the longer-term trend. For now, job openings in the sector have fallen below the average seen in the 2017–2019 period, which was 835,000.   Accommodation and food services businesses hired 815,000 in May, down from 843,000 in April. At the same time, there were 779,000 total separations in the sector in May, down from 827,000 in April and the lowest reading since February 2021. As such, labor market activity in the sector also slowed, but with net hiring (or hires minus separations) rising to 36,000 for the month.
