Labor shortage is such a funny term. It's like coming to a store and looking for 1kg of meat for 1$, not finding it and saying there's meat shortage. Or coming to a vegetarian store and looking for 1kg of any meat and saying the same.

When everybody is employed, but the economy needs more people - that's labor shortage. When there are people looking for jobs, but not satisfied with particular offerings - that's something else.
