There is no labor shortage, there is a wage shortage. If you increase your wages, you'll have a line out the door to work.

This. The value of labor in America is constantly being suppressed because the most wealthy like it that way.

There’s a huge shortage of skilled labor. Good luck finding a licensed plumber or electrician for a smaller job. There’s not nearly enough people in those industries, and the numbers are shrinking as most are aging and few enter.

You need a liberal arts major, yea there’s 100k of em for every job posting.
