Shierholz also discussed the labor shortage myth on the Pitchfork Economics podcast: “The thing that I always suggest that people say is—when they hear an employer say, ‘I can’t find the workers that I need’—always add the phrase ‘at the wage I want to pay.’” https://pitchforkeconomics.com/episode/its-not-a-labor-shortage-its-a-wage-shortage-with-heidi-shierholz/

The second people prove unwilling to work for the pittance employers are willing to give them, every single one of them suddenly never even heard of "the law of supply and demand".
They've got a SUPPLY of too many crappy jobs for which there is INSUFFICIENT DEMAND.
WUT DO!?
