No, there is no such thing as a labor shortage. There is only employers' unwillingness to pay market wages.
So I work in industrial automation, and live in a high cost of living part of Canada.
Back around 2017 or so, companies said we were in a labor shortage. I sold a few robots to factories that couldn't keep people in a few of their jobs (I'm thinking of two different small factories). These are tasks that are so boring that people lose their minds. The factories would hire someone and they'd quit after a week.
When the cost of continuously hiring new people became apparent, they bought robots.
while just looking at the scenario itself, that's all pretty fair. but the company's efforts to commoditize its labor directly brought that boring job into existence.
