Types of Labor Shortages
Labor shortages aren’t simply based on the number of jobs compared to the number of workers. It’s complicated because of the different factors that impact hiring. Job applicants’ training and experience level, the qualifications the employer needs in an ideal candidate, and the wages an employer is willing to pay all factor into whether there is a labor shortage in a particular industry or occupation.
The basic types of labor shortages include:
- Quantity of people: There can be a labor shortage when there aren’t enough qualified applicants to fill an organization’s needs.
- Quality of job candidates: When an employer has difficulty finding employees with the qualifications they need, there also can be a labor shortage.
