Someone needs to teach this guy about supply and demand. When the demand outstrips the supply (of laborers), ya gotta raise the price (wage). Pay them more, they will come. And gee, I feel real bad about his predicament.

He knows all about it, that's why he's asking for greater supply, likely illegal.

There's a severe lawyer shortage in this country. I can only afford to pay a lawyer $20 per hour, and I can't find a single one. What's the deal with this labor shortage?

Or invest in machines that will do the work, as happened with cotton.
