You managed to type all that and still avoid addressing the comment you replied to, bravo. The original comment position is that any current shortage is in large part due to rampant low wages across multiple sectors. Did you have an actual refutation of that, or did you just want to distract with tangential information?

I started with "As a statistical aside with respect to worker shortages and unemployment in the U.S., here's some BLS data" so yes, very clearly I was being tangential.

From the original comment, I was more interested in the part "It's like the 'worker shortage' kind of garbage... we've got plenty of workers in most sectors" and was curious about unemployment rates.

Whether or not it is 'distracting' is arguable, but I apologize if it was distracting.
