The clearest sign that the leisure and hospitality labor shortage isn’t yet easing — at least in the short term — is the rise in employee wages. As vaccination rates climb and more Americans dine out, restaurants can’t find enough cooks, waiters, and dishwashers to keep up with demand. Restaurants “have no choice” but to raise wages, BTIG Managing Director Peter Saleh told Yahoo Finance Live this week. “They need to increase benefits to attract employees or else they can’t serve… Source link

Google is ditching a massively unpopular auction format that underpins an choice screen it offers in the European Union, it said today. Eligible search providers will be able to freely participate. The auction model was Google’s ‘remedy’ of choice — following the 2018 EU $5BN antitrust enforcement against Android — but rivals have always maintained it’s anything but fair, as we’ve reported previously (here, here, here, for eg). The Android choice screen presents users in… Source link

The career of Kansas football coach Les Miles is over. The window dressing of how his departure will be framed – firing, stepping down or mutual parting of ways – still has to be hashed out.

Google alternative Ecosia is on a mission to turn search clicks into trees. The Berlin based not-for-profit reached a major milestone earlier this month, having used ad revenue generated by users of its privacy-sensitive search engine to plant more than 100 million trees across 25 countries worldwide — targeted at biodiversity hotspots. However these good feels have been hit hard by the coronavirus pandemic. Ecosia has seen its monthly revenues slashed by half since COVID-19 arrived… Source link
