The conspiracy theory going around reddit is that US companies are complaining about labour shortage to try to get their COVID payroll subsidies pardoned.
- fundad 5y agoThe funny thing is the forgivable payroll loans are the reason many businesses are around to hire now.
- nopenopenopeno 5y agoGood point. I guess that assistance would have been better off spent elsewhere so that those business would fail and the owners would re-enter the labor market. That would solve the labor shortage.

The realignment of spending and reopening was growth on top of growth. On top of that more remote jobs opened up and I want to hear about people who moved to LCOL areas or moved to a bigger job center because they could finally afford to.
