In the country I actually live in reports say that there is a huge shortage of waiters and chefs at the moment. And there is -- most of them are leaving for richer countries. What this means is that there are a lot of businesses who don't want or cannot afford paying more for chefs and waiters, and not that there are simply not enough people who could serve pizzas in a countryside restaurant.
Same goes for tech talent. I was testing the tech market in my home country a couple of years ago, and a multinational company who is (also) complaining about extreme lack of tech talent said that no engineer is allowed to be paid more than ~ $40k/year (in that particular office). They pay three times as much in the UK. Well, tough luck then. :)

There might just not be enough opportunities that will generate the level of income to support paying the higher wages. In other words, there are a lot of companies that have tasks for tech workers; the problem is that a lot of those companies don't make enough profit to afford to pay those tech workers.
