Unemployment is at 3.9% (or close to that.) And you are wondering why businesses can’t find people? Because everyone is working already.

Not sure you are correct on this point. I suspect the unemployment rate is low b/c millions have stopped looking for work, which is one way to keep the % low. After reading the dozens of responses, it seems that a huge bunch of baby-boomers opted for retirement b/c of COVID, etc., which probably created a huge employment vacuum.
