Labor "shortage"? In a free market, wouldn't the price of labor, i.e. wages, rise to meet demand?

Yeah, a shortage implies that the price of labor rises a lot

Not unimaginable, given that the bottlenecks seem to be concentrating on high-level direction, relational work, and expert verification

It’s not going to be instant. Just like we have housing shortages or unemployment.
