• "It's not that there are no workers out there. It's just no workers really want to work a minimum-wage job at this point."

  That comes from David Kelly, chief global strategist for JP Morgan Funds. He explains why employers are having trouble hiring, with a recent survey from the National Federation of Independent Business showing that the number of companies with positions they can’t fill is at its highest level in over 40 years.

In order to get people into these jobs, employers are having to offer higher wages.
