Introduction
Hi I'm Martin, and I own United Fleet Services in Saint Louis, MO. We hired a tech today.....but it's a very challenging recruitment environment.
Money is important, and I believe most techs will be doing $10-15/hour better than today, in two years. Skilled labor is quite a bit more valuable than someone whose job can be done by ChatGPT.
I am contemplating getting ahead of that moment, and hiking pay now.

welcome aboard!
Congratulations on your new hire.
It certainly is a challenging recruiting environment and you must be doing a bunch of stuff right if you're attracting top talent.
Kudos on staying ahead of the pay curve as well. We all know about inflation but what we forget sometimes is that skilled labor is even more sensitive to pay increases due to inflationary pressures.
Building a strong shop culture and keeping pace financially with a strong pay structure will keep your top techs from getting poached!
