I am really confused by economics.
I can't see this article, what kind of labor did they have in mind? There is a chronic shortage of skilled/creative labor, so I am assuming they mean the kind of labor that's vulnerable to being automated away. Perhaps the key shortage that explains this situation is education and training. In a modern economy people and money isn't enough anymore.
You can access the full article by googling the article title. It should be the first link.
If it's worth saying, but not worth its own post (even in Discussion), then it goes here.
