I know that since mid-to-late 2021 there have been labor shortages. I don't know if the issue is people dying, although it may be. All I'm certain of is that since 2021 employers cannot fill job openings. The problem is not quality of applicants. The problem is no applicants.
My own experience does not show that. My son applied a few places and never got a call. I met a guy in his late 30’s working at the meat market I go to. He applied to about 15 restaurants that has “help wanted” signs and never got a call. He said the same was happening to his friends. I just don’t get it.
