I can say that in my hometown of Austin, Texas at least, there was (and I think still is) a shortage of workers, with some businesses being slower to open because they couldn't get their employees to come back to work. There are "Now Hiring" signs all over town. However, wages are a bit sticky, so probably the employers are not willing to, for example, double the wages they pay, just because they wouldn't be able to double their prices and still have any customers.
