I've looked for a good explanation of the shortages, but really haven't found one satisfactory. Currently nurses are getting sign-on bonuses of $10k, $15k, or more. We are short 80k truck drivers. Fed Ex will be hiring tens of thousands during the Christmas season. National Guard is driving school buses or schools just cut out bus routes. McDs is paying big bucks and still can't get staff, as well as most other restaurants, etc. Can all of these staff shortages be explained by people who don't want to get the s#ot? If not, what else explains it?

Yes!! Exact same situation here. No more unemployment, but we can't even eat inside restaurants because they don't have enough staff. Some nurses are getting a $10k bonus for a 6 week contract. And we haven't had any staff deaths at my work, several hundred people, yet from the vacks. I'd really like to know what is causing this shortage.
It is just crazy. We will tour / hire 10 and maybe 3 stay and with in a few months one or two actually stay
