Here is a nice thing to learn. Nursing homes are primarily run by lots of Stands (state tested nurse assistants) which is a job that requires certification before being tested again by the state. Up until now most were paid around 12 or 13 an hour to literally run the show, wait hand and foot on old people, shower, feed, move, clean, change diapers, deal with tantrums, etc. Truly a thankless job that includes cleaning dead bodies. They have super high turn overs as people go thru all that to find out they will make kinda meh wages.
Here's the kicker though, when they don't have enough staff, they turn to agencies, which unlike other fields of temps the agency stna will usually get paid double or more of what the sntas at the place get paid. These idiots won't give raises to the stand as a whole to keep them so sometimes have to replace entire shifts with workers being paid double….not counting what they pay the agencies for their cut. Now tell me how this isn't the dumbest shit you've heard.
I know this from experience, I know several facilities that have slowly lost their entire night shift staff and or parts of day shift to agencies poaching then who now come back to work for double, in addition to hospitals poaching then for higher pay and the occasional competitor poaching.
You would think they would split the difference and raise their minimum but nope they keep shelling out double wages instead
