^ Good calls. In September and December 2021, the opposite was true as "record" corporate profits were still being outstripped by inflation, but in 2022, we definitely see a new trend of corporate profits hitting real records without a peep.

My employer has been kind because they are high turnover enough to understand the new market wage rates to fill a role. However, recruiters now reach out to me trying to fill back-office jobs to backfill for the recently retired and when they brag about how much it pays, it represents a 25 percent drop in wages for me or a 35 percent or higher drop in wages for someone actually qualified to do the work. Typically people are only wooed away by raises in excess of at least that amount. Some very fishy stuff going on industry that can't adjust to the new world.
