The US Chamber of Commerce is now bringing the alarm bells over the shortage of available workers which is leaving many businesses in the lurch right as demand for goods and services is surging as pandemic restrictions begin to finally be relaxed.
As The Hill reports:
The Chamber stated in its reports that in March there were a record 8.1 million vacant jobs in the U.S., showing an increase of 600,000 positions from February. However, the number of available workers per job, 1.4 workers per job, has become half of what the national average has been for the past 20 years and the ratio continues to fall, according to the Chamber.
The business group notes that in some industries, there are fewer available workers than the number of vacant jobs, such as education, health services and government jobs.
“More than 90 percent of state and local chambers of commerce say worker shortages are holding back their economies, and more than 90 percent of industry association economists say employers in their sectors are struggling to find qualified workers for open jobs,” the Chamber wrote.…According to a Chamber survey conducted in May, 90 percent of local and state chambers of commerce blamed the worker shortage for slowing down the economy in their area and 67.3 percent said businesses were finding it “very difficult” to find and hire workers.
Why would anyone bother working when Pedo Joe is giving away free money for staying home?
There are plenty of ‘workers’ languishing in tents close to our home. There’s also hundreds of others living in their cars and RVs. This sounds very much like a liberal attempt to make it sound like they brought back our jobs. Liberals eliminate jobs (Except for their relatives) The media, now an arm of our regime (See TASS) is playing along with this ruse.
