Now Hiring! We see those signs everywhere in Murfreesboro.

But what do those signs really mean? It means those employers are suffering from high turn-over.

Their employees won't stay very long. By the time a new employee is trained, they're gone.

There really is only one thing driving this. And it's not the COVID-19 pandemic.

This employment epidemic started long before we wore masks and got vaccines. Employees are leaving because the pay rate isn't significant enough for them to care about the job.

But this is what Tennessee promised all those businesses and corporations when they moved their operations to this Red State. Low-cost labor and a guarantee of no Unions.

'Now Hiring!' really means 'Not Paying!'

Tennesseans searching for meaningful employment steer clear of 'Now Hiring!' signs.
