Employer: "No one wants to work anymore!"

  • then increase your wages

Employer: "We did, same issue, no one wants to work!"

  • have you looked at your job requirements?

Employer: "Hey, it's perfectly reasonable that we demand that someone has an advanced Master's Degree in "X", 9+ years of experience in "X", and expensive, hard-to-get certifications in "X" so we can pay them $40k to start"

  • this is why no one wants to work for you. I bet your recruiters ghost people, and you probably put people through 8 rounds of interviews too.

Employer: "Nobody wants to work. I need time off, this is affecting my mental health"

  • No, you're just a lazy, toxic organization that doesn't want to pay someone what they're worth and you're terrible at trying to exploit human beings

I’ve run into each of those.

Recruiters are shitty people. Many, many, many of them are. The best companies force their best and brightest people to go do a "broadening tour" in recruiting and go recruit. The worst companies hire totally inept, stupid, good looking pussy out of college because they know they can garner more applications from thirsters who see a good looking girl on LinkedIn.

Well, there are also a lot of very entitled people with no qualifications that think they should work 25 hours a week (at most) and earn 60+k /yr.

I have seen all of the points you make but the largest shortages seem to be at the lower end of the market unless you are in a niche field.

Waiting tables or working at Walmart/McD's is not supposed to be a career. At best, a first job for young people just entering the workforce.

We all know how the "lower-wage" work is going to end up: Being 90% staffed by Central Americans, Haitians and Mexicans once the Democrats pass an Amnesty bill (which they will)

No disagreeing there. It is not how it should be though. Its where most youth's get their first experience in the workforce (if the parents dont have a family business which most dont anymore).

"Shortage," occurs when marginal cost of production exceeds an externally imposed price ceiling. Normally this refers to government imposed price controls causing producers to forgoe loss-generating production.

Do these educated people use the term shortage correctly and thereby imply cartelization of labor consumption or are these independent decisions of rational actors?

There is an argument for cartelization when you consider interlocking directorates of publicly traded companies through large financial manager (black rock, vanguard, ssb&t) voting control of custody shares. These people control who goes onto the boards of directors and may execute their agendas this way.

There is also an argument that this is poorly educated people who do not understand what shortage means. Shortage does not mean that people are not responding to your shitty job offers.

These are not mutually exclusive, and in fact are complimentary by muddying the water of public perception through misinformation.

In this case it’s simple economics. There’s not enough people who want to work for a wage that won’t pay for basic needs.

Wages are the last thing to rise when inflation hits.

No.

cause further destruction of the dollar's value!!!

Not only is this wrong. It's low IQ.

The complaint that people don't want to work is a long-running trope

trope

And there it is. The nose in text form.

e; Just because but only a low-IQ commie faggot would think the claim in the headline is remotely true.
