Florida has been making it increasingly difficult and hazardous for undocumented immigrants to live and work in Florida. Hence labor shortage.
Not labor shortage, but cheap/almost-slave labor shortage.
I hope unions in Florida will use this situation to greatly improve working conditions and increase workers' wages.
Also quick search shows there are layoffs in Florida anyway, so again, not labor shortage, but almost-slave labor shortage.
Argue semantics all you want. It is a labor shortage caused by Republican policies which keep out the cheap labor while doing nothing to address the gap that creates.
