CNBC's Kate Rogers joins the 'CNBC Special: Inside Jobs' to report on recent layoffs at tech companies and what it means for the overall economy.

The title should be "Companies still too cheap to pay workers even after raising prices 33%."

They say they're hiring and never hire anyone. Thousands of people have come forward about putting hundreds of applications in and they barely get a phone call or an interview. They want one person to do the job of 3 people for a pittance.

Pay a livable wage and then the "labor shortage" will end.

Corporate greed is the issue and the government enables it. There might be a shortage of minimum wage workers, but as a recent college graduate whos been looking for a job the past 4 months, I can tell you it's competitive as hell out there for anything paying above 20 an hour. Even with over 5 years of relevant experience, I keep getting ghosted by employers. Meanwhile, the media lies to everyone saying nobody wants to work. How tf is that possible? People have bills to pay and kids to feed. They cant afford to just sit around. They want to work, but they aren't getting hired.

Hookers are charging the same or more. They should be considered a leading economic indicator imo.
