An example of the shortages is durable goods manufacturing, wholesale and retail trade, and education and health services have a labor shortage—these industries have more unfilled job openings than unemployed workers with experience in their respective industry.
Even if every unemployed person with experience in the durable goods manufacturing industry were employed, the industry would only fill 65% of the vacant jobs. After losing roughly 1.4 million jobs at the onset of the pandemic. Since then, the industry has struggled to hire entry and skilled workers alike. So they can’t get anyone, now, at all.
Since before the pandemic, we have more than two million fewer Americans participating in the labor force today compared to February of 2020. And according to a assessment run by Monster.com the SHRM report indicated that health care, social assistance and manufacturing have the highest levels of recruiting difficulty.
And what the administration fails to see, is that their regulation has been contributory to the losses. Thanks to actions like pushing to defund the cops. A 2021 survey from the Police Executive Research Forum showed a 45% increase in retirements, and nearly 20% spike in resignations, over the previous year.

Many other fields are down as we speak to include:
Nurses, doctors and specialists
Scientists and mathematicians
Skilled trades, like electricians, carpenters, machinists, mechanics , welders and plumbers
IT computer specialists
health, telecommunications and environmental technicians
Transportation, such as drivers
Construction and extraction workers in mining
counselors, therapists and social workers
And this is a short list.

The jobs are there, they just aren’t worth money, benefits and home working desires, or have little future like the mining or law enforcement industries. And on a personal note, you may see the military on the list before too long as they will get to the point between shrinking retirement pay based upon inflation and by being undercut by congress, removing benefits, cutting out lifetime promises like health care, and leaving to go into a labor priced failure of the economy on jobs they can handle successfully due to lack of training. Their country they are trying to come back to ran away and hid.

i think too a lot of folks are seeing people just really soak the system, seeing states reward thieves by not going after them anymore- etc- and it is discouraging them- because they work so hard while criminals don’t hardly work and yet get away with their crimes- stores are closing left and right because they can’t keep up with the thefts and danger to their employees-
