Labor Shortage Secret

Media generally has really avoided this fact: a big factor in the labor shortage is "women not returning to work". The big, big longterm push to get women more represented in the workforce, even to the point of government involvment as to "representation" and suspected discrimination .... this development was not foreseen.

You'll hear a lot of reasons for it, but one big one in my opinion is scaring them to death about the Virus.

instead of links I'll just say google it and see

instead of covering this in the MSM, instead we still get largely phony reporting about how women aren't paid as much as men

well, here is one reason

No.

Provide links.

No.

Provide links.

you are so precious. Just for that, I'm going to whine when your side doesn't provide links. Actaully RXwine is the worst.

of course, I wouldn't have said that if I didn't know there are a multitude.

first few that come up, oh dear, this is so hard

These are pretty weak links
All the links are pretty much the same
Its complicated and let's look at this person's story
Its all meaningless
There is no secret
People like me are a huge massive reason for the labor shortage.
Baby boomers retiring.
Retired earlier then planned due to the Virus. Plenty of boomers like me pushed into retirement due to the virus

'secret' is exaggeration for effect; it's not totally uncovered, thus the links. But how much coverage have you seen, must be some for whom this is 'news'

You never get links when I post from my Ipad. I looked up how to do it without going back multiple times, but then forgot how to again. So I don't bother.

On my laptop you get links. But half the time, I'm on my Ipad.

Actually TP the baby boomers are working longer not retiring early. They retire and get their pension and they get another job and double dip. You are the exception not the norm and I predict that you will go back to work at some point once your dream trip is over. The seniors in Sechelt, BC are volunteering at a bunch of small business's that couldn't find staff in order to keep them open in the small town. They ask that the business donate a $1000 / month to charity.

Looking at these links, it doesn’t seem like such a “secret” now does it? You blame the MSM for not reporting it, but.... your links prove that’s a lie.

What do you think the solution should be to get them back to work?
