Rising prices of suppliers. No employees want to work because of Biden's unemployment extension. We're going to have no choice but to raise our prices Sad

I think we actually benefited from it. I'm in the bakery industry and had business coming from all the extra packages schools have given out

Yes! It’s so hard to find employees, let alone decent ones. There are much less people applying to our job ads these days. Why work?

We are also in this industry. We benefitted in the beginning but the last few months, prices of goods have increased and there are no new employees! No one wants to work

My husband is in construction and wasn’t allowed to work for a while in 2020. He still paid all of his employees so as not to lose them. Since covid, many of the supplies and materials are not to be found, and if they are, they are exorbitantly expensive.
He just interviewed someone as a prospective employee but the guy only wanted cash so that he wouldn’t lose unemployment.

anyone deals with Amazon.ca? They closed many of there warehouses and are limiting storage amounts enough to make your business have to close. It’s so sad because businesses are really suffering.

Yes I'm in the same boat. I'm hoping it will be very temporary.
