Good thing the researcher is continuing to track this: https://arindube.com/2021/08/20/early-withdrawal-of-pandemic-ui-impact-on-job-finding-in-july-using-current-population-survey/ https://arindube.com/2021/08/20/early-withdrawal-of-pandemic... Per his findings, at very best the early end to ui lead to 160,000 jobs in june+july this year (6% over states that retained ui). And that’s without adding any of the complicating factors like how most of those jobs may have just been taken from new entrants to the job market. I don’t think that’s enough to explain the overall ”labour shortage” trend.
