Labor shortage in manufacturing?
-
I hear so much noise around labor in manufacturing and I'm curious what ground-truth is.
Is it hard to find people to work for you?
If so, is it specialized / experienced people, or general entry-level?
Does pay make a huge difference (i.e. are people saying no to jobs because of pay)?
Would love to hear your experience.

Part of my business is recruitment. We don't get into general labor / blue collar roles because, frankly, people suck. Low skills, low ambition, low morals. Companies ask us all the time and we point them to Indeed. Humanoid robots will be the norm very soon and our general labor workforce has no one to blame but themselves.
Engineer levels on up is where we play and it's much easier. They show up to work and they work hard.
Looking into EV charging infrastructure, there aren't enough electricians and installers to meet the demand. That is a good spot to be in if you're young, handy, and know the difference between red and black wires.
