No, it could mean that the market is booming and pay rates haven't caught up. IE, what happened during the Covid-era of 0% interest rates.
It could also mean that handouts are making people not work as hard or not wanting to work for less in general.
- etchalon 4y agoThe "its the handouts!" theory was tested when different states deprecated unemployment benefits earlier than others and did not see any significant changes in their labor market. Also, those "handouts" have long since expired and the labor issues remain.
- jonlucc 4y agoIsn't that just a longer way to say that it's a shortage of pay rate, benefits, and willingness to train? If the market is booming, and pay rates haven't caught up, aren't they short?
