What percentage of those people were in the workforce?

If we are talking about 250k less workers out of the 170 million or so in the US workforce that isn't actually going to cause a significant labor shortage.

If you do the math about 170k were under 65 which is about 0.1% of the workforce assuming they were all working.

An added point that is a bit cold blooded sounded but true is that if a group of people that are on average old enough to be retired people die you would actually expect to see the opposite of a labour shortage.

Retired people don't work but they are still consumers that need products and services.

The pandemic is causing these shortages of labor but the deaths on their own aren't.

The liberal handouts are already gone.

What's actually happening is market being free, and employers in certain industries are just being stubborn about competitive wages.
Why take a shitty job for shitty pay, when the not-quite-so-shitty jobs at not-quite-so-shitty pay are just as desperate?

There is no labor shortage, they're just all working better jobs.

Exactly, this topic is stupid.

deaths are not creating a labor shortage.

Its because everyones mental health is down the shitter and we got sick of more risk for stagnant wages.

Only reason I havent quit my job is carryout being supercharged meant a lot more tips(on top of hourly). And my boss was giving me raises without me having to fight for it.
