That's true when comparing workforces across demographics and economies, sure. Happens all the time. But here we're comparing "2019 Montana" with "2021 Montana" -- it's not like Montanans or their economy have changed that much. The clear hypothesis is that if the same people are doing the same jobs in the same economy with similar workforce participation numbers that there is no "severe" employment shortage".
- lazyasciiart 5y agoBut 2021 Montana is significantly different to 2019 Montana. For just one change, the entrances to Yellowstone are closed. So there aren't even the same jobs available, think of all the tourist facing positions that aren't needed. Even if the employment rate was the same, you'd have to assume that the working population had changed along with the jobs available.
