If you are implying that the labor force is shrinking because people are refusing to get vaccinated then no, that is provably false. The vast majority of states and employers have no vaccine mandates at all. Heck you can show up to work coughing and with a positive covid test in your hand and no one will care. And even if they did, statistics show that Americans in the labor pool have been largely vaccinated already. The ones still holding off are statistically insignificant.

This is a super misleading statistic, because people aren't evenly distributed between states or employers. Consider 100 restaurant companies, only 1 of which imposes the mandate. If the 1 is McDonald's and the other 99 are mom-and-pop restaurants, the fact that the 99 are the vast majority is irrelevant.
