[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'll say it again. There is no such thing as a labor shortage. There is only whatever amount of workers there is. There is more to an economy than L.[/quote]

+1 There is such a thing as "labor shortage".   We went through that during the pandemic, and shortly after, but it was mostly in the low wage sector.

Post WWII there was a surge in labor shortage in the UK to rebuild the country. They brought in laborers from the West Indies.

After a hurricane, there is usually some labor shortage to help with the cleanup and rebuild, and companies usually use illegal immigrant labor as a stop gap, like they do in FL.

Or like all of the Turks and others who came to Germany to help rebuild after WWII as part of the "Gastarbeiter" program.[/quote]
