On the retail end, I was talking with a store manager at one of the Staples stores I deliver product to. The manager said job openings had been posted since Thanksgiving 2014, and not one single applicant has applied. I asked what the hours/pay was, and was told retail store associates are being hired on at that store for 20 hours a week and minimum wage to start. Now, minimum wage in and of itself is barely worth getting out of bed for, but 20 hours a week of minimum wage and no benefits? Hahahaha. F*** me, I'd rather work in a McDonald's if it came to that. Good luck staffing those stores with that hiring strategy.

It's a comedy, or tragedy? Comedy and tragedy stapled together?
