I don't think shortage means what they think it means. Just because you can't find people at the price and working conditions you're willing to offer doesn't mean there's a shortage. It might just mean that you're cheap.
Well there can be a genuine shortage of people able to do a job, but that’s likely companies fault for not investing in training people to do the job in the first place.
How many people who wanted to be pilots are marketing managers or something? How many people who could be nurses are working in health insurance? Eliminating bullshit jobs would create more workers for non-bullshit jobs
Wait, are you saying you think CEO getting paid millions (for doing very little if anything at all) is fine, but paying teachers and nurses and so on a living wage is "cheap"?
All CEOs earning millions will insist that being a CEO of just as much of a full-time job as any other position... while being CEOs for multiple companies they own.
Well understaffed then.
There's an accountant shortage too, which nobody talks about except us in the industry. It SHOULD be talked about though, because it's another huge ticking time bomb. Financial statements audits performed by third party external accountants are designed to keep businesses honest and report factual numbers to investors. If they report false information then you get situations like Enron.
The problem is that we are overworked and underpaid like everyone else, the work has gotten vastly more complicated, regulatory compliance requirements are more burdensome than helpful, and tons of other issues. The results are that accounting enrollment has plummeted in schools, experienced professionals are being driven away from the industry in huge numbers, and more and more work is being sent overseas to be done extremely poorly. Corporations pay for their own audits and firm partners don't want to lose a good client so crappy work gets pushed through no matter what.
I'm convinced the next major financial crisis will be from a bunch of huge household name companies getting caught with their pants down after fudging too many numbers. Just a matter of time.
Same goes in IT were overworked and underpaid. Just this year alone my department has lost several people and they passed the savings onto the remaining people while pocketing the salaries of those they got rid of. Fucking awful country America has become.

Pilot shortage, teacher shortage, nurse shortage, service industry workers shortage.. We're now seeing firsthand the jobs that really run our society. You know what we don't have a shortage of? Overpaid CEOs.

Hmm. Never been a "vacant" CEO position. Ever.
It's almost like the pay and benefits are attractive enough to bring in qualified applicants.
Indeed. Seems as those as long as needs are met you never have to deal with vacancies. Strange.
The place I work are currently looking for a CEO and have been for quite a while.
Not just a shortage of people but also of quality. Look at the kinds of people they employ to teach children for instance. Serious problem with unethical ideological shills in that sphere.
Hmm mium yummy dogwhistle in my tummy
I see one downvote. I bet it’s spez
