It’s hard to get good answers to that question, but my best but very uneducated guess from reading is that more people have been retiring than entering the workforce for several years now. That accelerated during the pandemic. Add in the increase in the death rates the last couple of years for however you wish to attribute it, and the reductions in *legal* immigration, and you have yourself a labor shortage. Most people who worked in service industries have moved on to other jobs. Some people have left the workforce entirely, but I think that’s only a small part of the story, and the extended unemployment benefits have long since ended, so clearly that’s not the cause of the problem either, even though that was the narrative according to many last year. TLDR: a labor shortage has been slowly occurring last few years, pandemic accelerated it and made it worse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weathafella Posted December 31, 2021 Share Posted December 31, 2021 So.....our daughter just tested positive-has been mildly ill and now home (sadly not able to hang out with her bf and friends for NYE). So to me this is a good test of the boosters which my wife got about 2-3 weeks ago and me 2 months ago ( driven by my plan on being part of a 6500 person meeting in person in Boston in November). I’ve been busy talking our daughter off the ledge that if I get it I am not going to die and my concern was 1000x higher when I thought I was having a heart attack or stroke 4 weeks ago. Stay safe everyone and Happy New Year ! May 2022 fulfill all of your weenie snow dreams! 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
