That only works when worker are less replaceable and desperate. Their are a lots of open job positions today but most pay less than the cost of living.

Lots of open job positions is very healthy for the economy, it gives the worker the ability to choose, and it makes companies have to compete. A ton of companies are literally being forced to increase their wages in order to get enough employees.

I'm not saying it's unhealthly I am just saying they don't help if they don't pay above the cost of living. Sure you can get a job paying 15 USD but that isn't even going to cover rent + utilities. So for now your stuck with your job and don't have the option to switch.
