> “My startup went out of business because i couldn’t find devs to work for 20K” is a statement that would rightfully get laughed at in here.

Company: We are absolute desperate to hire workers but we just can't find any, anywhere! What can we possibly do?

Job seeker: Have you considered raising wages to attract more applicants?

Company: Haha, you're joking right?

Maybe, maybe not. If your production price gets higher thsn the price for importing the same good you are getting out of business (or production is leavinf the country). Not sure if this is the case for agriculture.

Maybe not. Its about the market. My son is a line engineer in a film-coating plant. They need operators chronically. The average operator lasts 2 weeks.

Its hot/cold (depending on the season), humid, very noisy, vibration. Almost every American would rather work anywhere else.

If it's that important for them to have less turnover, then they would pay for it with higher salary or other perks. But apparently it's not that important to them, due to the fact that they're still in business despite the terrible turnover situation.

Double your prices, or hire devs in Elbonia.
