I don't think shortage means what they think it means. Just because you can't find people at the price and working conditions you're willing to offer doesn't mean there's a shortage. It might just mean that you're cheap.
How many people who wanted to be pilots are marketing managers or something? How many people who could be nurses are working in health insurance? Eliminating bullshit jobs would create more workers for non-bullshit jobs
As a UX designer who decided not to be a doctor though I could have, I don't think this is how it works.
There’s entire billing departments in hospitals that are full of people who could be nurses but have jobs dealing with insurance, so it does work like that a bit.
That doesn't mean if you get rid of insurance jobs, they would be nurses.
That's what I mean. If they didn't have all these people pushing paper they could be helping patients.
Or they'd be pushing paper somewhere else.
