re: Honk: People are quitting their jobs at record rates. That's a good thing for the economy.

So is there a labor shortage or not?

The labor shortage is in specific jobs like waiting tables, flipping butgers, stocking shelves.

There is definitely not a labor shortage for white collar jobs. Indeed is set up so you can't just spray and pray when you're looking for a job. It takes at least some effort even if only a few minutes, and many jobs have a skills test. So people aren't going to apply unless they can at least make a case for themselves.

When you see 10-100 or 100+ applications for a job, those are legitimate applications.
