Strong jobs report brings a new problem: labor scarcity

[Rustic]

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?

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

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.

Yep, service/beginners jobs will never sustain any area.

Funny even liberals think that way



Only 35% of liberal whites in California think college is necessary.

so what; the hard core left insists we get rid of low wage jobs that don't clear social services costs; approximately, fourteen dollars an hour, anyway.

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

why, so the rich can get richer. don't care about the poor or potential middle class, right wingers?

Education is necessary. There is a difference.

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technical skill sets it's becoming more and more intense because our education system has become increasingly outdated, primarily because we have a whole swath of luddites that believe simply throwing more money at the problem while keeping the same old structure is the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.

Or we could just send the lawyers gratis.

It will be interesting. The labor market is not much different now from Obama's last two years, and that's not to say Obama or Trump have that much effect. The predictions seem to be that having more jobs than applicants will raise wages. But if you have that plus the tax cut, you have stimulus and at the same time the Fed is trying to reduce stimulus by winding down QE.

Productivity has not increased in more recent years, and that was what fueled the 90s. More recently there were predictions that we just didn't need as many workers, but soc sec and medicare require workers.

Will store clerks and custodian jobs be automated? That's not meant sarcastically. I agree with your post, and don't really have an answer. Eighteen wheeler driver jobs will disappear in the next ten years or so. That's about the last of the good paying jobs that don't require college or tech training.

Unemployment compensation is temporary, so what do the people who are not trainable for higher skilled jobs do when lower skilled jobs disappear and unemployment compensation runs out? It's not a political question.

The solution for SS and Medicare is to continue to raise the retirement age for full benefits. After all, when SS was first enacted, it was expected workers would not live too long after retirement.

As far as store clerks, IMHO the question really isn't IF they will be automated it's WHEN automation will be widespread.

Inside Amazon Go: the store of the future

Custodian jobs are already being replaced with robots on a limited scale in a variety of different areas (hospitals being the most notable).

That's about the last of the good paying jobs that don't require college or tech training.

That's what's been said about every wave of technology driven change starting with the Industrial Revolution, what people tend to forget about is the creative portion of "creative destruction" which, while painful during transitions, tends to result in more efficient allocation of labor and greater wealth creation over the long haul.

I agree with you, but I continue to worry about the people who will not be trainable for the higher skill jobs of the future. I don't remember his name, but back in the 1960's there was a Harvard economist who said in the future we would have to separate the creation of wealth from the distribution of wealth because our economy would become so hi tech that only about 60% of the work force would be employable. If we are moving toward such a time, what effect will this have on the political stability of our society?

If we are moving toward such a time, what effect will this have on the political stability of our society?

I'm not sure who you're referring to but I think we're very nearly there with respect to the 60% number in realistic terms and we have long been on track of separating "wealth creation from wealth distribution" (commonly referred to as "wealth redistribution"), I expect that trend will accelerate to some variation of the "universal basic income" model that's been widely kicked around for some time (just my guess).

As far as how the current wave of technology driven change in the economy will affect political society, I suspect that it will be highly de-stabilizing during the transition, in fact the election of Donald Trump may be a symptom of what's to come.

Over the long haul though, the process is necessary to move society forward with respect to economic efficiency, if we just stubbornly try to stick with an outdated model simply to keep unskilled / semiskilled labor employed, our economy will get crushed and our standard of living will vaporize.

Welding, mechanics, engineering, manufacturing, construction etc... the list goes on and on and on ~ and they are all ultra high paying jobs.

The only jobs that have a high paying potential are degreed/certified/licensed jobs, the rest are unskilled.
