The US Should Address Labor Shortages with Immigration
Labor shortages are present in multiple sectors
The US is facing a gigantic challenge, which is primarily related to the global Coronavirus pandemic and its impact on the national and regional economy. Clearly, the health crisis affected the local market and there is now an alarming workforce shortage in all sorts of sectors.
In fact, it is quite curious how, despite the high unemployment rate, local employers cannot always find qualified workers to occupy certain jobs. As a result, many local companies, especially in sectors such as technology and science, try to hire highly skilled foreign workers to fill labor gaps.
However, the Trump administration’s policies and the sudden arrival of the global Coronavirus pandemic substantially delayed immigration cases, which worsens the situation for American or US-based companies.

What did the National Census reveal regarding labor shortages?
The 2020 National Census results have been extremely essential regarding immigration, the impact of foreign communities on the economy, and labor shortages.
In fact, the 2020 National Census revealed that, by 2030, one in five Americans will be of retirement age, and, considering that population growth over the last decade was the second lowest in census history, there will not be enough working-age population to support the retirement-age population unless the US increases immigration levels.

Immigration should be the solution to address labor shortages
At this point it is important to mention that the presence of immigrants is not only necessary to reduce labor shortages, keep the economy afloat and protect the retirement-age population, but immigrants are also responsible for 42% of the last decade’s net population growth.
Adding to that, the National Census had predicted the arrival of at least 1.4 million immigrants between 2017 and 2019. However, the actual figure was only 400,000, which is 71.43% less than expected.
Thus, as one might realize, labor shortages across the US not only have to do with the health crisis, but also with the decrease in immigration levels during Trump’s term, between 2017 and early 2021.
