Dead, dying or disabled by the jabs, most likely. Which is what I've been saying for months now.

All the unemployed people are going to work for the IRS.

I know several people who moved back in with their parents, single siblings moved in together, and people retired early.  

I think people realized what they can do without and are o.k. with it.  

"You will own nothing and be happy."

 So that may be it?

Unfortunately, that is a massively insufficient explanation.

Yeah, I've heard a lot of explanations.  "Some retired early."  Maybe, but the most obvious shortages were in lower-wage jobs such as in retail (cashiers, customer service, etc.).  And the vast majority of those jobs tend to be held by younger people ... and only a tiny proportion by people nearing retirement age.

I do see a bit of a recovery where there's a bit less of a shortage of workers.  Perhaps part of it was that the younger people collected more in stimulus (Trump and Biden Bucks) than they would have working their $10 / hour jobs.  At $10 per hour, you'd make $400 in a full week.  But they were pulling in $600 for doing nothing.  And, actually, it was more than that, since that was on TOP of your normal state unemployment.  Oh, BTW, you did not have to be laid off on account of COVID.  You could actually QUIT your job and just claim that you quit due to your "fear" of catching COVID.  I knew and knew of many who pulled that stunt.  So some these individuals were collecting $800 per week, so nearly double their pay.  And I think they let this nonsense go on for at least 18 months if not 2 years.  So that's the equivalent of 4 years of working.  Then you top it all off, that much of this younger demographic do still live with their parents. So if you could make about 4 years of income in 2 years of doing nothing, then you could probably stretch it out for another 2 years of doing nothing and still break even.  Many of them got so used to not working that they just couldn't motivate themselves to go back to work.  So, while I'm seeing a bit less of a shortage, what I am seeing is that there is still SOME shortage, and so a lot of these folks are hopping form one job to the next.  If they don't like it, they just quit and try something else.  I was told this by a couple store managers, that they hire people alright, but then they quit after a couple weeks.  So perhaps Klaus was conditioning them to own nothing, do nothing, and be happy.

But, yes, I do also believe there was a population decline due to jab deaths.  But I think that when there's population decline, there would also be a decline in the need to provide goods and services, but there would definitely be a bit of a lag before that adjusted down to the declining demand.  I think it would depend on the demographics, as to whether those who died were mostly people who provided services or people who consumed them.

So I think it's probably pretty complicated.

Many are home on welfare ( universal basic income).

From a man in Germany.

It’s here too in Oz.

Today is our anniversary and we decided to go to a popular restaurant on a nearby lake. Middle of the booming tourist season with folk flocking north for the winter. Would you believe, closed for shortage of staff. 

Hospital staff are overworked to the point of exhaustion and want out. A friend just threw in her job as a geriatric nurse to take up work in the kitchen, totally fed up. Of course all staff had the clot shot and it shows.
