The labor shortage is really a pay shortage

Question I bookmarked an article you wrote a few years ago: B.S. on the jobs numbers euphoria. Jobs numbers are the #1 story again: 260,000 jobs added versus over a million the economists predicted would be a slam-dunk! Is that a labor shortage or job shortage? Maybe a pay shortage? Once again they're blaming us, people looking for jobs! We're not educated enough or skilled enough or willing to go on goose-chase interviews recruiters e-mail us about. Now we're deadbeats living on rich unemployment supplements. Who needs to work, right? I DO! Nick’s Reply The burning question in the news

Pay shortage. HR policies still don't allow for retaining top staff through dramatic pay increases.

And with vaccinations allowing us to move around more, I'm anticipating a potentially big shuffle of jobs over the rest of 2021.
