Well, and at a price that will result in prices for goods that customers are willing to pay. There is no shortage of services that people would like but that middle class-ish people can't/won't pay for if they have a large labor component.

Maybe I'd like to be able to ring up a personal chef. But I'm not actually going to pay for that.

Sure. You're not going to say that means there's a shortage of chefs though, or lobby for policies that undermine the labor force's negotiating position with the aim to cut their wages until you can afford one.
