What I have seen in affluent suburbs north of Dallas is difficulty finding people wanting to work for $15 / hour. We have seen a big increase in population.

High schoolers do not want to work for such a low wage (partly that their six figure earning parents having enough money for the family. They can buy their kids a car.)

In the recent past, supplemental unemployment payments and the eviction moratorium has made it easier for those without a job to get by.

Of course, pre-Covid, we had an unemployment rate of sub 2%.

Just perspective in another booming area, where people have been moving.
