Join Professor Joe Calhoun and Charles on Answers That Count

Joe Calhoun: Hey, great to be with you! Always a pleasure, Charles. Awesome. Not only are you a professor, you’re an economics professor, so - and we’re going to talk about one of our favorite subjects. We’re going to talk about economics. And what - what are we looking at in the news today? So, there’s a couple of points that we’re reading about, we’re seeing, and we’re actually feeling it in our pocket books. So, let’s talk. Let’s start with the unemployment numbers. You know, there’s a lot of chatter right now every time we turn on the TV, watch the news or we read the newspaper, social media, we see where...heck, if we just go out shopping, we see where employers, retail shops, restaurants, they’re looking for employees. They’ve got ‘help wanted’ stickers posted everywhere, but yet when we look at the unemployment records that are posted by the federal government, their unemployment is still high. So, it looks like - I mean, this is kind of a contrast - we have high unemployment, but yet the demand for employees to work is high also. So, help us out with understanding that.

Federal law requires employees earn at least the federal minimum wage, or the higher state or local number in 28 states and 55 municipalities. If the combination of the base wage and earned tips does not total the required minimum wage, the employer must pay the tipped employee more to make up the difference. Sunil Dharod, who owns 124 restaurants across four states, including Applebee’s locations, Sonic Drive-In stores and the Roy’s fusion chain, said he expected higher wages would lead to menu price increases and reduced service. In this podcast, Professor Joe Calhoun talks about how incentives drive behavior. He relates incentives of wait staff to make more money. Good service leads to better tips. So, servers are incentivized to provide great service to customers. The tip model of compensation and the commission model of compensation for servers and bartenders is a way to drive better customer service, higher sales and higher compensation to the servers and bartenders.

Four more restaurants followed and the AMOBs have become a well-known place to enjoy fresh, delicious seafood at a great value, served by a team of wonderful staff in a fun, family-friendly atmosphere.

They started in January and they’re just gonna ramp up from there, so this is a fact. JH - It’s, it’s, it’s coming on us. We’re gonna have that tidal wave.
