On the news nowadays say that many industries are suffering a labour shortage, not enough people working various sectors from service to technical.
My mom remarks, where did all the people go? Don’t they want to work?
I said, well, maybe people aren’t happy with the working pay or conditions.
She replied, so there are many people just sitting around doing nothing?
Which made me think, what does a labour shortage mean when there are jobs to do, even if they may suck, versus people who are just out of work?
