Labor Shortage? Maybe. Maybe Not.

The propaganda machine on display here--but not from the Lefty side.

A whopping 40 percent of small business owners were unable to fill job openings last month—a seven-point increase from January....

...Employers are feeling the crunch, with 24 percent claiming labor quality as their top business problem. Another 51 percent reported few or no qualified applicants...

The article goes on to lay the blame on the $600/week UC enhancer of Trump.

Is that really the cause?

How about the fifty-one percent using that 'few or no qualified' line?  

A lot of businesses would like to have pre-trained personnel show up at the door.  Training costs time and money and who wants to spend time and money on employees?

Watch that "qualified" line.  Sometimes it's justified.  Most times it's bullshit.
