This is largely a reprint of a report from nfib: https://www.nfib.com/content/press-release/economy/small-business-labor-shortage-worsens-in-september/ https://www.nfib.com/content/press-release/economy/small-bus... Which is a summary of their jobs report: https://www.nfib.com/foundations/research-center/monthly-reports/jobs-report/ https://www.nfib.com/foundations/research-center/monthly-rep... The most damning is the graphs at the bottom of the report. This is clearly not just covid, and follows a trend line in NFIB's data since at least 2010. Their PDF of their full report is extremely wanting, but contains the larger graphs: https://assets.nfib.com/nfibcom/2021-Sep-Jobs-Report-FINAL.pdf https://assets.nfib.com/nfibcom/2021-Sep-Jobs-Report-FINAL.p... They don't document much about what businesses are part of nfib, or much of the methodology of how they got this data.
