It's not due to lack of jobs, at least not in a simple way. Reportedly, there are simultaneously more open positions than companies can fill with qualified candidates, at the same time as many qualified candidates struggling to find open positions they can fill. I think that may be true, even though it sounds paradoxical. The result is still inequality, cost of living peoples and people getting squeezed. But adding a bunch more of the same jobs won't fix it, if the problem isn't caused by lack of jobs.
