Employee Shortages: Where Have All the Workers Gone?
31st July 2021
“Gone to welfare, every one….”
But pandemics can accelerate social and economic change. In particular, in the last year, Covid has prompted many foreign workers in the UK to return home to sit things out. We can’t be sure all will choose to come back.
The BBC, of course, being a charter member of the Narrative Media, hopes they will, as do their Globalist masters and the Labour Party; British nationalists hope that they stay home.
Add Brexit into the equation, and the old assumption that companies can just hire extra people from Eastern Europe to fill any gaps can no longer be taken for granted.
That’ll put a stick in their spokes.
Anecdotally, Covid has also led to more than a few people to think about what matters to them and to retire early or to leave employment to start a business of their own. Economic “inactivity” has risen during the pandemic, as data from the Office for National Statistics highlights.
Uh-huh: Retiring or starting your own business constitute ‘economic inactivity’.
