RE :”Or that STEM-qualified Americans don't want those jobs at the offered wages - which would mean by basic market economics that wages need to be raised.”

Or Americans are not willing to put in the work to get degrees and education, or move to where those jobs are.

I can see it here, its the immigrants with two parent families making their kids study and go to college, the American boys want a great job selling cars and the teenage girls are interested in having babies while living at home.(heck, dad;s long gone and they live with mom)

If ya 4 million job vacancies for computer workers and big unemployment in other fields than simply raising salaries will do nothing.

Each theory explains the data - so "shortage" remains unproven.
