If you haven’t noticed, since Trump grew the economy in 2017 there has been a shortage of workers.
Here in Atlanta there is a shortage of construction workers, a shortage of IT workers. The economy would be bigger with more spending at restaurants if there were more workers.
Housing costs are high because there is a shortage of construction workers. Where are we going to find more?
I guess you did not read my comment carefully,
“Not everyone can be a doctor, engineer, carpenter, plumber,
et al.”
I was postulating that many lower skill jobs
could be eliminated with ease and that is where the highest
number of jobs are at.
Indeed you are correct that there are shortages of skilled workers. Especially in areas that are not desirable to live in. Undesirable in costs, political environment, climate, crowding et al. In other words quality of life.
Who in their right mind wants to live in Atlanta if you could get a job at Barking sands missile test range on Kauai? Or Cape Canaveral space Center? Or Tampa?
There isn’t a shortage of workers in places with a high quality of life.
