Strong jobs report brings a new problem: labor scarcity

[toomuchtime_]

Joseph Brusuelas, the chief economist at RSM US LLP, points to a concern that hasn't gotten much airing recently: are there enough people to fill the open positions in the workforce? Here's what he says in a post-report client note:

"With little to no slack left in the economy, the major challenge for both policymakers and firm managers is where will businesses find the workers to meet growing demand in a new economy increasingly organized around science, mathematics and technology in a tightening labor market.

U.S. Adds 200,000 Jobs; Wage Growth Best Since Recession

The Democrats seem to believe the way to fill these jobs in science, mathematics and technology is to bring in more undocumented farm workers and laborers. Why can't the Republicans see the wisdom in this?

Yeah, business owners don't want people whose only skills is thumbing a phone or sitting at home drinking a latte.

You don't need more unskilled workers. You could help Americans fill those roles. There is a push from Jared and Ivanka to assist those who are leaving prison to get their second chance, in the form of training or work prospects. Why not have businesses given an incentive to hire a guy who might not have been perfect but who could be a great worker? Instead of screwing them so they can never work again and just go in and out of prison, costing the economy trillions.

People like this will leave the victimhood of liberalism and become self sufficient. Once this is done, they wont vote Democrat ever again. This is why the CBC sat, scowling at the SOTU, knowing full well, that they were fucked...Bigly.

Strong jobs reports? 200,000 jobs is nothing out of the ordinary. 2.3% GDP growth last year.

Forestry, mining and drilling are the jobs this country needs, because of the jobs they bring along with them.
Welding, mechanics, engineering, manufacturing, construction etc... the list goes on and on and on ~ and they are all ultra high paying jobs.

It's a fine sentiment and no doubt some of the ex prisoners will make a success if given such a second chance, but I doubt many of them will be able to fill jobs that require a background in science, math and technology, which is what the economy will increasingly need if it continues to grow. At present, the way to fill such jobs is to hire foreigners who have such backgrounds and skills

A fifteen dollar an hour minimum wage should help correct that problem.

So, the Democrat strategy is to bring in undocumented farm workers and laborers to fill jobs in science, math and technology? WTF.
Since libs feel they are the smartest people in the country, how about putting their sorry asses to work.

Robots are filling those jobs

Not on site, in rural areas.
Those jobs pays people six figures… fact

How is that possible? When you consider that there are more kids in law school than the number of lawyers who have ever walked the earth it seems that the disgruntled left is just looking for an issue to keep the democrat base angry and upset.

Scientists, engineers and mathematicians already earn more than $15 per hour, but such a minimum wage will persuade businesses to automate the jobs for low paid workers, creating demand for such equipment, and creating more demand for workers with backgrounds in science, math and technology.

Labor scarcity isn't a new problem at or near the peak of the business cycle, however given the shift in the economy that has emphasized increasingly technical skill sets it's becoming more and more intense because our education system has become increasingly outdated, primarily because we have a whole swath of luddites that believe simply throwing more money at the problem while keeping the same old structure is the solution.

The problem has been readily apparent in the structural unemployment numbers for some time now but IMHO it keeps getting lost in the politicization of nearly everything having to do with labor force.

The other challenge we have is that our higher education system graduates too many liberal arts and law students and not enough engineers, doctors and hard science professionals.

Perhaps we can set up a trade agreement with India where we trade them say 10,000 of our lawyers for every 1 of their engineers, maybe they can put those lawyers to good use digging ditches because clearly they aren't doing anything productive here.

It's time to cut welfare to $5 an hour, that will solve the problem
