[quote:Anonymous Coward 79543875:MV80OTA3Njk4Xzg5NjQ3NzAxXzY4RjRCRkFD] [quote:JAZZz50:MV80OTA3Njk4Xzg5NjQ3MDkxX0JDNzkxMjYw] the labor shortage issue is not just the big metro cities. it has gotten to the rural areas. i live on the edge of what i call a rocking chair zone, farthest points from major cities,inland,mountainous,etc. basically the safest place to be for any disaster,collapse,or in this case pandemic. our cases and deaths are very low compared to other small countries even. yet we seem to have labor shortages.at first i thought it was the personnel offices trying to look busy by filing apps. have gotten word that it is in the hospitals and the mid level restaraunts as well. even some country type family owned shops are not operating normally. they would have had less turn over since most of the employees stay long term. not sure what is going on. it is not the unemployment payouts. if u fail to go back when recalled,u lose the benefits. young ppl entering the workforce or those who had just entered before 2020,didn't earn enuf to get any UI. could b more than 1 reason for it. take the college kids. they may not b working in the towns. for 1 they don't want to get the virus and take it to campus. for 2 they risk not being able to go home for holidays if they did get it. but this explains some not all the jobs. are workers tired of the isolations? some small businesses have had outbreaks. if 1 worker gets covid, they all end up out of work. even here ,i have seen 2 businesses almost shut down. 1 person worked to keep the place open. this stuff is not reported on the news. [/quote] Yeah testing positive is shutting places down. Even if you don’t feel sick. Lots of false positives. [/quote]

How are so many places understaffed when unemployment and eviction moratoriums are gone?
I don’t believe that many people are suddenly hiding now because of CoVid and not working just waiting to get evicted. Even fast food is paying $15 an hour in states where it’s not the mandatory minimum wage - and heroic grocery store workers stayed on the job at the height of the fear pandemic.
Why would all those people not be working now? What are all these mysterious ‘better jobs’ they left for?
Are the supply shortages really because so many people are MIA?
