That's not true. For any occupation there are qualified people who have dropped out of that particular labor pool to pursue other options such as: teaching, stay-at-home parent, graduate school, etc. If you offer enough cash you can lure them back.

You think there’s an infinite number of people who have dropped out? Otherwise it’s still limited isn’t it?

In general there are plenty of those people to fill the short-term demand while additional workers are trained to fill the long-term demand.
