Why is there suddenly an
extremely severe shortage of workers all over the world?
09/22/2021 / By News Editors
The unprecedented employment crisis that we are
watching unfold around the globe is so bizarre that it could have been pulled
straight out of an episode of the Twilight Zone. For the very first time
in recorded history, there is an extremely severe shortage of workers in
nations all over the planet. When this shortage first started to emerge
earlier this year, I thought that it was very strange, because 2020 had been a
year when we had seen unemployment absolutely skyrocket in the U.S. and other
western nations. In fact, somewhere around 70 million Americans filed claims for unemployment benefits last
year. Not too long ago we had vast hordes of people that were out of
work, and now we are suddenly facing the greatest labor shortage in history?

Something is not adding up.
When I wrote my most recent article about the labor shortage, a
few people wrote to me and blamed the Biden administration for what we are
witnessing.
And it is certainly true that actions that the
Biden administration has taken have made the labor shortage in the United
States even worse.
But the Biden administration is not the reason why
there is an extremely severe shortage of workers literally all over the
planet. In Vietnam, for example, there are so few workers that the
government actually sent the army out to help with the rice harvest…
Across the world, a dearth of workers is shaking up
food supply chains.
In Vietnam, the army is assisting with the rice
harvest. In the U.K., farmers are dumping milk because there are no truckers to
collect it. Brazil’s robusta coffee beans took 120 days to reap this year,
rather than the usual 90. And American meatpackers are trying to lure new
employees with Apple Watches while fast-food chains raise the prices of burgers
and burritos.
Why aren’t there enough people to do these jobs?
We have never seen anything like this before.
Considering the horrendous unemployment crisis that
gripped much of the globe during the earlier stages of this pandemic, you would
think that there should be colossal pools of desperate workers for large
companies to choose from at this point.
But instead, it is almost as if untold numbers of
low paid workers have simply disappeared.
Of course certain types of workers are far more
important to the basic functioning of the global economy than other types of
workers.
For example, the world would be just fine if there
was a severe shortage of actors and actresses.
But if there aren’t enough people to grow, process
and transport our food, that is a massive problem, and that is precisely what we are currently facing…
Whether it’s fruit pickers, slaughterhouse workers,
truckers, warehouse operators, chefs or waiters, the global food ecosystem is
buckling due to a shortage of staff. Supplies are getting hit and some
employers are forced to raise wages at a double-digit pace. That’s threatening
to push food prices – already heated by soaring commodities and freight costs –
even higher. Prices in August were up 33% from the same month last year,
according to an index compiled by the United Nations’ Food and Agriculture
Organization.
Unfortunately, the shortages and price
increases are eventually going to get a
whole lot worse.
I cannot recall another time since the dawn of
history when the entire world has ever faced something like this.
Please correct me if I am wrong.
All over the globe, we are being told that
shortages of food are being caused because there simply is not enough people to do the
work…
Shortages are hitting farms, processors and
restaurants alike. Malaysia, the world’s No.2 palm oil producer, has lost about
30% of potential output of the edible oil used in everything from chocolate to
margarine. Shrimp production in southern Vietnam – one of the world’s top
exporters – has dropped by 60% to 70% from before the pandemic. And a fifth of
tomato production in the south of Italy has been lost this year, due to the
scorching heat and transport paralysis, according to the farmers’ association
CIA.
Before the pandemic, there was never a time when we
didn’t have enough workers to do the basic tasks that needed to get done.
In fact, many nations around the globe were
persistently facing huge problems with rampant unemployment.
But now the pandemic has come along and suddenly
all of our unemployment problems have been solved?
I don’t understand why this isn’t raising a red
flag for more people.
Here in the United States, if you want a job you
certainly have many to choose from these days.
In response to the article that I posted a few days ago, one of my readers sent me
an email describing what conditions are like in one section of Illinois…
Where have all the people gone? When you drive down
the highway in Fairview Heights and Swansea, Illinois, there are signs on both
sides, now hiring. Fazoli’s, a fast food Italian restaurant has a sign stating
that they pay up to $15 an hour. Domino’s is looking for employees, Sparkle Car
Wash, a rental business, and several others within a two or three block area.
Panera Bread Company has signs posted outside that they closed early now due to
lack of employees. Food items on our grocery shelves are dwindling and they are
never replaced. Some of the food is expired. I noticed when trying to purchase
butter at Aldi’s, it had the same expiration date as it did months ago. They
put out expired butter and left it out to sell in the cooler. Same thing at
Schnuck’s, you have to be careful and check the expiration dates. A lot of
their food has either expired or is about to expire very soon.
At a time when basic services are breaking down
because of a lack of workers, the Biden administration has decided to make
things even worse by imposing offensive new mandates on tens of millions of
workers.
As these new mandates go into effect, we could soon
see things we have never seen before in the history of our country.
For instance, it is being projected that close to
half of the entire police force in the city of San Diego could soon be forced
to quit their jobs…
A rather remarkable situation in San Diego that we
could see play out in the rest of the nation. The police union, The San
Diego Police Officers Association (SDPOA), asked their members about the
vaccination mandate.
65 percent of the respondents said they would
consider quitting the force if the city were to impose a requirement.
However, an alarming 45 percent said they would rather be fired than comply
with the mandate.
The SDPOA has 1,971 members. According to the
San Diego Union Tribune, half of those officers are not vaccinated. If
that half of the entire police department were to be fired for non-compliance
with the vaccine mandate, the city of San Diego would be in a really sketchy
place.
The path that the Biden administration has decided
to take us down is absolutely nuts.
As scores of qualified workers leave their posts,
the problems that we are facing right now could go to an entirely new level.
But the U.S. is only one piece of the overall
puzzle.
Everywhere in the world
there are alarming labor shortages, and we are being told that this is a crisis
that isn’t going to be solved any time soon.
So once again, there is a very simple question that
I must ask.
Where did all the people
go?
This is story of monumental importance, and hardly
anyone is taking about it.
