The Cost of Labor and The Challenges of Today’s Business World

If you’ve been paying attention to the news in the past few months, you’ve undoubtedly heard about the labor shortage, the “great reshuffling”, and the other economic issues facing our country.

While many of the current trends we are seeing are good things overall, each one presents a unique challenge to businesses and business owners.

In this article, we will discuss the issue of the cost of labor costs and the challenges of today’s business world.

Rising Minimum Wage

On the surface, it is hard to argue against raising the minimum wage. There are very few people on earth who would say that workers shouldn’t earn a living wage for the jobs they do.

However, when wages rise significantly, this sends ripples throughout the economy that are often unexpected.

Increasing Inflation

Across the country, the cost of everything has gone up. Inflation is at record high levels and the markets have responded in the only way they know how: by raising prices of goods and services.

While there have been steps taken by the federal government to curb inflation, by all estimates, we’re still looking at a long road ahead before we can see the light at the end of this rough economic tunnel.

Very Thin Margins

As a result of the rising minimum wage, inflation, and many other issues, most companies are operating on razor-thin margins.

For this reason, it is often hard (in most cases) to blame company leaders for deciding to raise prices. After all, they need to be profitable, or they simply won’t be able to continue to serve customers.

As a result of these thin margins, many companies are instituting strict rules and have very little ability to give out discounts to any customers.
