How’s the labor market in Houston looking?

We were fortunate to stay employed throughout the pandemic ("essential" business), but now people at my job are leaving droves. The business is hurting bad for workers, but they're stubborn and not wanting to raise pay.

Many were leaving since last year because unemployment paid the bills better than the job. But even with King Abbott getting rid of the extra unemployment money people are still leaving for better paying jobs.

Are you noticing wage increases, or are people finally negotiating?
