Labor shortage grows despite unemployment figures and welfare rolls
Editorial notes a rising labor shortage from the National Federation of Independent Business March survey. Unfilled jobs per firm rose from 2.68 in January to 4.66 in March, with total unfilled positions near 5.126 million nationwide, led by the South Atlantic and mid Atlantic regions, while the Pacific Coast shows the smallest gaps. It attributes much of the problem to low take home pay after taxes and welfare, especially in retail and service sectors, though skilled roles in some industries remain unmet.
