Editor’s note: The minimum wage amount for Virginia has been corrected.

STAUNTON — Hiring signs are still in nearly every business window. Hours at restaurants and fast food places are limited or infrequent.

The question is why?

The jobs are there, but people aren’t applying. The jobs that are out there aren’t paying enough for people to live on, according to an analysis from Massachusetts Institute of Technology.

An article by Statista said the minimum wage does even begin to cover normal living expenses in any state of the entire country, but Virginia, Hawaii and Georgia, where the living wage gap exceeded $8 per hour, were the worst.

Virginia’s minimum wage is $11 per hour. It is supposed to rise in coming years to $15.

There’s a large gap between minimum wage and the living wage.

What is the living wage? It’s the hourly rate that an individual in a household must earn to support his or herself and their family, the Massachusetts Institute of Technology said.

According to the International Labor Rights Forum, a living wage provides for basic needs, like food, shelter, clothing and healthcare, along with education, childcare and transportation.

The calculator by the Massachusetts Institute of Technology assumes the sole provider is working full-time and provides information for individuals, and households with one or two working adults and zero to three children. In the case of households with two working adults, all values are per working adult, single or in a family unless otherwise noted.

Dr. David Huffman, associate professor of economics at Bridgewater College said even though unemployment in our area is 2.5%, which is back to pre-pandemic percentages, it’s a sellers market and the employees are the sellers.

“It’s a labor supply issue, basically you just don’t have the workers keeping up with the growing demand,” he said. “It is tending to reduce some of that wage disparity there. If you do want to go out to work, you can go out and work at those higher wages.”

Wages are increasing — the hospitality industry wages are up 7.2% since last September, Huffman said.

But it’s a supply and demand issue. There are not enough workers for businesses — especially retail and hospitality — to operate the way they want in this “post-COVID” economy.People are demanding more restaurant meals, so there’s a need for more restaurant workers. Many of those who were in the hospitality industry were either laid off or didn’t return to work, instead finding another career path, Huffman said.

We took it upon ourselves to see what the job market looks like in the Staunton area. I made my own Indeed profile, linked up to my News Leader email. I didn’t attach a resume, though. I just put in sparse details of me working for the News Leader since 2012 and my contact information.

Here are the parameters:

• Search Indeed.com for a day — split up throughout the day totaling around 5 hours.
• Apply to any job on there to see how long it takes for the employer to return your inquiry.
• See how much each job pays and what benefits are offered

Here’s what we sent to each job we applied to in the interview section or cover letter section on Indeed:

“I’m a reporter with the News Leader in Staunton, Virginia. I’m looking to do a story on the job availability in the area and how fast employers contact those who apply. I’d love to hear back from you all. Thanks!”

Day one I sent out requests to 25 jobs. Requests were sent out April 4 and I gave the employers until Friday, April 8 to get back to me. I heard from five employers by the timeline.

Here’s where I applied:

Some takeaways from applying

I found there are a lot of different type of tests that some employers require — either different skills requirements, but others had to deal with how well you work with other people, essentially a work style test.

The majority of these jobs on Indeed — which ranged from different levels of restaurant work to factory or warehouse jobs — didn’t meet the average living wage requirement.

A lot of the jobs, especially the restaurant ones, required several years experience.

The majority of the job postings had some sort of benefits listing, especially health insurance.

The following day, after I sent in applications, I received emails from Indeed to send messages to employers to “stand out.”

Most employers saw my “note” regarding I work for the News Leader and this was for a story, but still wondered if I wanted the part-time work.
