I bet there would be no shortages of workers if wages went up. But of course when the free market favors the workers, it must be regulated away. When the market favors employers, it's working as expected. The situation is the same here in the US. Idiot leader, massive corruption, economy growing, and labor "shortages." I wonder how long this condition will last before it collapses due to stupid, hateful policies. It won't be long now.
