When restaurants closed in 2020 a lot of their employees went to work in businesses like Amazon at $15 an hour with benefits and more regular business hours and have no incentive to go back to their former job. Changing the unemployment is a good start, but businesses will need to get more creative in hiring and retaining employees.
If you want a low paying job, Florida is your ticket.
