Understaffed

Every place is understaffed So managers are trying To hire more workers, but it seems That no one is applying. Economists are mystified For this is something new And experts all have theories But there’s not much they can do. It sounds like many laborers Were miserable at work And being forced to stay at home Turned out to be a perk. Without a job to get to Transit costs just disappeared And with government assistance Life was not what most had feared. They made do without the hassles Of tough jobs with little pay, So when openings resumed, so many Shrugged and just said, “Hey! Why return to all the stresses?” Which is why no one can fill All those jobs which people hated And I doubt they ever will.
