probably the simplest but most dramatic conceptual reframing tool i am trying to use more nowadays is whenever a company says "we can't find people to work" or similar, what they're actually saying is "we are underpaying for this position".
a wage is a bribe you pay a person to sit in one place and do a job, no matter how crappy that job is. if you are struggling to find a person to take that job you should raise the level of bribe. basic shit

- $5k-9k for childcare or tuition? it's now $28k (and looking at the website, it seems that you may get both childcare and tuition money if relevant, it's not completely clear)
- free health insurance? they specify it's Platinum now
- even the starting wage is somewhere between "above" (~$1/hr) and "significantly above" (~$5/hr) minimum wage depending on the Dick's location--which is why it's relevant to say the starting wage is $20/hr at all locations
EDIT: To be clear, this is a place where a burger is $2.30, a cheeseburger is $2.75, a shake is $3.60, and a coffee is $1.85. If they can figure it out, so can anyone.
