I'm a founder at a company that supplies top of the funnel recruiting automation software that is used mostly in high volume recruiting. We've spend the last year moving people out of restaurant and bad retail jobs (there are still some good players there) to much better paying jobs. Everything from logistics, to tech, to healthcare. This labor shortage is really not a shortage, it's an overabundance of business that were relying on the availability of underpaid labor to make profits. Restaurants and retail are really the poster-children for this. Everything from re-shoring of manufacturing, the rise of the gig economy, to the shift to ecommerce have created a ton of much better paying jobs. This trend started in 2016, and by 2019 was in full force. When COVID hit the extended benefits reduced the supply of labor. I'm really happy to see working-class people start to get paid better. It's really the best for everyone. Now we just need to figure out how to get less money spent on buildings and more on teachers and we might just be on to something.
