Labor shortage? I believe we have a shortage of people willing to work. Why work when they get paid more not to work, can’t really blame them. How can you know the people crossing the border want to work?
FYI I’m not against immigration just would like to see it done legally, so we know they want to work.

Sounds like labor shortage to me.
We've definitely come up against the "enhanced" unemployment issue at our company. One employee's husband got pretty cranky that we offer his wife her job back. IMO it's short sighted not to take a job because unemployment pays more at this moment.
Be very interesting to see what effect the expiration of it will have. I guess we will see.

Nursing home to workers: Get vaccine or lose your job
NEW YORK (AP) — The U. S. nursing home industry’s resistance to forcing workers to get vaccinated against COVID-19 for fear that too many of them might quit began to crack this week when its biggest player announced its employees must get the shot to keep their jobs.

Yep, there are people who will quit. But the list of companies that are requiring vaccination or very regular testing as an alternative is getting longer. There are even a few unions supporting vaccination.
After Months of Avoiding the Vaccine Issue, Companies Begin to Mandate (Published 2021)
Tyson and Microsoft were the latest to require employees to be vaccinated. Other major employers have tried less sweeping approaches.
Why Tyson's employee vaccine requirement stands out
Meat producer Tyson Foods' announcement Tuesday that it will require all its workers to be fully vaccinated against Covid-19 by November 1 is hardly the norm when it comes to vaccine rules for frontline employees.
The list of colleges requiring vaccination for faculty and staff, as well as students is also growing. The alternative is usually weekly testing.
What some small business owners said to their employees is that if everyone gets vaccinated, then they wouldn't require masking at work. Of course, in a location with low vaccination rates and rampant Delta, that could change. But even if it doesn't the small business is probably less likely to have staff out for weeks with COVID-19.
