Also worth thinking through all who benefit from a "labor shortage"

1. Those who would want to import cheaper labor from abroad or export the jobs to there.

2. Those who would want evidence they can deny social safety net claims ("oh yeah, you couldnt find a job? but there's a labor shortage")

3. Those who would want to sell all kinds of expensive and unneeded things -- like degrees .

4. companies who are shit at customer service, but now have an excuse as to why

It's hard not to be ignorant when it's so profitable.

Good points and I hope this puts a renewed flame under the ass of the labor movement.

We call it "customer shortage" now.
