    Anytime I hear “labour shortage” I remember what it really means is not enough people willing or able to work slave wages.

      Japanese unemployment rate seems to be around 2,6%. They might genuinely lack truck certified people, especially depending on how many of that % is short term unemployed and whatnot

        Japan’s population is aging, which is true of all developed countries. Pretty much every other developed country solves this with immigration, something Japan has avoided.

      • Then pay to train people and ensure them a stable job. Offer a sweet deal, as workers are supposed to be agents who work in their self interest. The capitalism the right uses to argue for freer markets should demand this, but when capitalists get angry about labor shortages and act like they simply deserve loyal workers, it shows that they never gave a shit about liberal ideals. They only want to fuel their greed and fucked up desires to own other human beings as much as they can.

          You mean to switch a job? Because we don’t know if those unemployed people are just temporarily between jobs, alkies, shut-in neets or what. Just paying to train them might not be a silver bullet, could just mean some other field will now face the employee shortage

      If an apple costs a dollar and you don’t wanna pay that, there isn’t an apple shortage. The apples are there.
