Retirements and short work weeks explain America’s labour shortage

This was a long time coming, demographics in the west are starting to flip, some countries have it worse than others, looking across the EU things are much worse.

The US at least naturalises 1m ppl a year and has good amounts of immigration. Gov. needs to start focusing on letting people have children, as things stand its either the wealthy or the extremely poor (who cant plan ahead) who end up having kids.

Its crazy for a couple on an avg. income having a child is financially devastating most end up on the edge of poverty. Becoming whats often termed 'working poor' the cost of raising a child has gotten out of hand largely due to education costs.
