Isn't that just the free market in action? Can't find workers, raise the wages until you do. Supply and demand right there. You demand workers and they demand you supply an acceptable wage.

No, not like that. These entitled workers should be falling over to thank their employer for the jerbs they created and kiss the ring for paying them what they are legally required to. Duh! (big /s on that one)
