    Businesses have a solution to such a shortage. I think it has to do with paying people more? Idk, been a while since I’ve seen anything like that.

      They have begun to pay them more, but front-line management has an expectation that they need to produce more than what they were being paid for. Wages are stagnant for a decade and finally get a cost of living adjustment, but they want to work them like dogs.

        Yeah. It’s all behind on the wage side but the business side isn’t seeing it that way. They think they’re owed something extra for the increase, while in reality they have failed to keep pace and should expect less and less because of that (including a labor shortage).
