The theory was that uncle sam was overpaying benefits and the lazy poors decided to stay home. So, if you removed that assistance..like every good wingnut politician did, and that theory was correct..we'd have seen a surge in employment.
We did not. They were being assholes for no reason beyond it's impact on their polling numbers...the derps in the rank and file just gobbled that fact free shit right up....even though it was always talking about them as a demographic, and they knew better. Nearly a half a million people wee just forcibly removed from the workforce, apparently plenty more would rather die (of covid) than work at a place that insist it;s employees not get covid..so there another expected rush of resignations. It just so happened that the olds were holding alot of the employment (because they could never afford to retire) and now..the survivors know they can make upward moves. No one wants to work at someones covid farm, and no one has to. Every staffing firm is scrambling - and they're dealing with all of these employment issues too.... It's fun to observe from that side of the curtain.
In mere reality, americans have consistently worked more hours and become more productive than their peers and over time with respect to our own past work habits. All while being payed relatively less for that effort, and without the safety nets of just about every other modern nation. This very real set of circumstances feeds into the magats notions of replacement...you know, "economic anxiety". They're right that they're getting shafted, but it isn't by dems or the filthy fucks who make their garbage burger. So we end up with this nuerotic little dance where one poor taker pretends the other poor takers are the problem because their betters..who loathe them, say so.
