What is everyone doing????

So, now there are all these people out of work...who "cant get jobs!" Why not?

There is (and has been for awhile, even before the depression):

A shortage of teachers

A shortage of child care providers.

A shortage of nurses

A shortage of doctors

A shortage of healthcare professionals in general...

A shortage of mechanics

A shortage of machinists

A shortage of pretty much anyone who can BUILD or FIX anything...

Wow.

So let me get this straight.

For many, many years, there has been a shortage of people to teach, people to take care of our health, people to take care of our children, people to build, people to fix whats broken...

So my question is...if these people are needed so badly and have been for so long...

WHAT THE HELL HAS EVERYONE BEEN DOING??

Spending money, apparently.

Sad.
