Wow, 330 million cannot work today. I would recommend finding out how many adult individuals are there in the labor force. Do the same for EU. You'll soon realize there just aren't enough to support so many industries. I can speak for the US about how labor shortage affects every one. US has the craziest doctor residency programs. This ultimately causes a massive massive shortage of doctors. This affects society in unbelievable ways. There are so many people who could've done so much more, but can't do so because they need specialized treatment. The doctors for these aren't available quickly enough. By the time doctors are available and treatment is done, these folks are defeated and depleted mentally and financially. How did the artificial shortage work out? Same applies for a lot of industries. If you want to work in ALL the industries, you need the best in ALL the industries and 500 million (which is aging rapidly) won't cut it at all. Especially when you are competing with China.

> How did the artificial shortage work out? You neglected to specify WHO it works out for: 1) the folks getting depleted. 2) the (doctors) who decide on the doctor residency programs and also reap the income of financially depleting folks? Now truth be told, there is a quality argument to be made here. 2) is the only thing guaranteeing that IF you do get treatment, it is at an acceptable standard. They ALSO use it for personal wealth of course, but also for quality. And this is medical care, bad quality destroys more lives and causes more misery than the author of Doom can imagine. Just take that time when they accidentally (really) disfigured ~50000 babies as an example. Yes really, accidentally. As in "oops, chirality really matters".

  Are you trying to say that due to the selective nature of medicine, all doctors are already rockstars? Or Are you trying to say that all doctors need to he neurosurgeon level smart? Either way is wrong. Doctors can be a spectrum of quality. The more the doctors for routine checkups and treatments, more and more rockstars doctors can be freed to do rockstar activities. The current shortage may be great economically for current doctors, but it sucks for you, I, kids and everyone that needs those services
