Due to the border tightening because of "covid" it was something like 3M immigrants that would have come over that haven't. This has caused some pretty big shortages in the labor market, particularly in farming, construction and trucking. Those are three massive industries and it has caused a trickle down effect in other markets. So like the supply chain, the labor market is being hit in every direction. Combine that with the people retiring and the nearly 2M excess deaths from Covid causing dead people to stop working, It's the perfect storm.
