There is also a shortage of supermodels willing to marry me, a shortage of 7 foot tall guys who can shoot 3 pointers, and a shortage of new cars sold for $100 to go along with this labor shortage. Seriously though there is no labor shortage, raise the wages and any "shortage" will correct itself.

Can you imagine writing: "pandemic-era lifestyle adjustments that lowered cost of living for many people"?
Is that a fun way of saying workers are getting pushed out of areas where workers are needed? Yeah that's a preexisting crisis.
What part of cost of living lowered? Food and building materials were already tariffed and pandemic made doing anything more expensive so prices soared even more.
