I work in residential construction.
Our masons can't get guys to show up to work because they are making more money sitting at home.
Our concrete guy can't get people to show up to work because they are making more money sitting at home.
Our framers can't get guys to show up to work because they are making more money sitting at home.

I've talked to two restaurateurs in Waco and both said they are significantly short-staffed because they can't get people to work because they are making more money sitting at home.
Our appliance provider is limiting deliveries because they have only one delivery crew (instead of their typical 3) because the others make more money sitting at home.
