We've all seen the signs and memes. We've heard the cranky scorn from talking heads, business owners, politicians and old men yelling at clouds. No one (except them) wants to work anymore! Everyone (except them) is lazy! In this episode, we challenge the ironically lazy thinking behind these claims and ask those who feel this way to consider an alternative explanation: maybe people just don't want to work for you?

Mentioned in this Episode:

16:21 - A Brief History of Nobody Wants to Work Anymore
21:18 - Why so few teenagers have jobs anymore
24:40 - Exclusive: Hyundai subsidiary has used child labor at Alabama factory
