Vaccine Mandate Firings Cascade as Employers Face Toughest Labor Market in Years + More

Fox Business reported:

Private companies and public employers are continuing to lay off unvaccinated employees this month, as vaccine mandates proliferate and many employers struggle to fill open jobs in a recovering economy.

The cascading firings come as the U.S. has 10.6 million job openings, according to the Labor Department, which works out to 0.7 job-seekers per open job. That’s a lower ratio than at any point since at least November 2006.

Some layoffs are mandatory due to government policies. In October, more than 33,000 healthcare workers in New York state were fired, retired or placed on unpaid leave because they refused to get vaccinated in accordance with the state’s policy.

Others were fully at the company’s discretion, like when United Airlines fired more than 230 employees in October, before the details of the Biden administration’s vaccine policies were announced.
