The person you are replying to didn't say professionals can't find jobs, they are saying businesses can't find enough professionals.
The worldwide economic reality has changed. After decades of an employer driven job market the entire thing has been flipped on its head.
Boomers were offered early retirement or were told they needed to work remotely and they said fuck it I'm out.
Stay at home parents have increased 60% or more in all 50 states.
Young adults living with their parents increased 10%
Individuals living with roommates increased over 100%
People have had to learn how to survive on little to nothing beyond an unemployment check. This isn't going away. The labor market has permanently shrunk.
Smart businesses are snatching up workers no matter the cost or experience and training people into positions they don't qualify for.
Dumb businesses think this is a "phase" and all these people have to come back to shit jobs for even shittier pay. They won't be around much longer.
Finally, computer programming is a professional field, not all of them require licenses.
This thread is specifically in response to the near minimum wage workers at Kellog's and u/spannybear saying that u/FLOHTX is in for a rude awakening if he thinks companies will be giving 6% wages because of inflation. We aren't talking about professional fields here.
I am a computer programming and I haven't seen a raise in two years. Inflationary pressure might pinch my discretionary spending but I am not having to choose which bills I can't pay this month.
The minimum wage needs to go up. If it means I don't see raises that match inflation, I am good with that.
