It is wishful thinking that things would be better just a few years after COVID.
A lot of experienced workers vanished from the workforce, as COVID affected mainy the older workers.
They did not have the opportunity to teach new workers their skills.
Even those who merely retired did not come back to the work force to teach new workers.


In Australia we had the great exodus. A lot of younger people (particularly here in Melbourne) had a reality check and resigned in mass immediately after lock down was finished. Plenty of them travelled and sought employment outside of Australia in record numbers. Within Australia there was a northern exodus, with people in Melbourne and Sydeny going north to tropical Queensland.
