Where did all the workers go? That is an excellent mystery that continues to be unsolved. All over America, companies are actually hiring anyone with a pulse and there are “assistance wanted” signs all over the location. However the number of people that are in fact working is still near four million below the pre-pandemic peak. What took place to all of those additional workers? They definitely aren’t on unemployment, due to the fact that claims for unemployment benefits are the most affordable that we have seen “in years”. So where are they? It is almost as if millions upon millions of individuals have vanished from the system totally over the previous number of years.
Needless to state, this lack of workers is having a dramatic impact on the shipment of standard services all over the country.
For instance, a few of the most significant banks in the U.S. are “briefly” closing lots of branches due to a lack of personnel…
Big banks are temporarily closing branches across the country as they cope with labor scarcities and continuous complications from Covid-19, including the arrival of the more contagious Omicron variant.
It mirrors extensive branch closures at the start of the pandemic in March 2020 when lots of believed the financial lockdown would be measured in weeks. The new round of momentary closures– in some cases taking place sporadically– are sparking anger, confusion and angst amongst consumers.
If your regional bank branch is now closed, it might be quite a while before it opens again.
In fact, Bank of America is informing their clients that some branches might be shut down “for a prolonged time period”…
“Many of our areas might have minimized hours, alternate days of operations or may have been briefly closed,” Bank of America Corp. (NYSE: BAC) informs clients on its website. “We are doing whatever we can to reopen as quickly as possible, though some locations may remain closed for a prolonged time period.”
Much more worrying is what staffing scarcities are doing to healthcare facilities all throughout the nation.
Without adequate certified personnel, many medical facilities are having an actually difficult time delivering fundamental services right in the middle of this pandemic, and the expense of hiring replacements has actually even pressed some centers into personal bankruptcy…
The U.S. health-care profession is suffering its own Great Resignation, pushing more medical facilities into financial distress simply as a winter surge of the coronavirus strikes.
Across the country, healthcare facilities are giving in the strain of nursing shortfalls and the spiraling expense of employing replacements. For Watsonville Neighborhood Healthcare facility on California’s Central Coast, those expenses ended up being excessive to bear, and added to the facility’s personal bankruptcy this month, according to an individual familiar with the scenario.
Since there is such an absence of nurses, any that become available are frequently the subject of bidding wars, and those with the most significant checkbooks end up winning …
“This resembles survival stakes,” stated Steven Shill, head of the health-care practice at advisory company BDO U.S.A.. Winners are “whoever’s greatest on the food chain and who has the greatest checkbook.” The staffing business– firms that provide nurses and other staff on a temporary basis– are “truly, truly, truly gouging health centers.”
I specifically alerted that a great deal of these health centers in blue states were going to be dealing with serious personnel lacks as an outcome of the ridiculous mandates that were being imposed.
Now these institutions have actually been put in an untenable scenario right in the middle of a raging pandemic, and the ones that instituted the mandates are the ones that are accountable for this state of affairs.
On the other hand, patients just continue to pour into our health centers at a worrying rate. At one healthcare facility in Ventura County, great deals of individuals are coming in complaining of “unexplained heart issues, strokes and blood clot”, and this has pushed the patient census at that health center to the highest level ever…
Dana, another ICU nurse, states the variety of sick, seriously ill individuals in her Ventura County medical facility has actually ended up being “overwhelming,” pushing her facility’s client census to the highest levels she has ever seen.
“It has never ever been this busy, and none of it is Covid-19,” Dana says. “We don’t typically see this quantity of strokes, aneurysms and cardiovascular disease all happening simultaneously. … Typically we’ll see 6 to 10 aortic dissections a year. We’ve seen six in the last month. It’s crazy. Those have really high rates of death.”
Similar scenarios are playing out at many other health centers all throughout America.
And staffing lacks are likely to continue to magnify, since one recent study discovered that a lot more nurses plan to leave their posts in the months ahead…
Two-thirds of nurses surveyedby the American Association of Critical-Care Nurses stated their experiences throughout the pandemic have actually triggered them to consider leaving the field. And 21% of those surveyed in a research studyfor the American Nurses Structure stated they planned to resign within the next 6 months. Another 29% stated they might.
Air travel is another industry that is experiencing unprecedented nightmares due to severe staffing shortages.
Over the previous week, we have actually seen thousands upon countless flights either canceled or delayed due to a lack of employees…
Although Christmas may be over, vacation tourists won’t have the ability to get away the airport chaos on Sunday as 913 United States flights have been canceled and 2,975 more are postponed due to staffing scarcities brought on by the COVID Omicron surge.
The new wave of disruptions follows nearly 1,000 flights into, out of or within the US were cancelled on Christmas and more than 3,000 were postponed.
What a mess.
Unfortunately, this is a crisis that is not going to be cleared up whenever soon.
Individuals are dropping dead all around us, therefore worker scarcities are likely to be a big league headache throughout 2022 and beyond.
According to the U.S. Census Bureau, the population of the United States grew at the slowest pace ever tape-recorded during the 12 months ending on July 1st …
America’s population grew 0.1% this year, the lowest rate on record, according to Census Bureau figures launched Tuesday that demonstrate how the pandemic is changing the nation’s demographic shapes.
The U.S. included just 393,000 people in the year that ended July 1 for an overall population of 331.9 million.
When the final numbers come out for the full year of 2021, I believe that they will reveal a substantial population decrease for the nation as a whole.
Numerous have currently died, and countless more will die in 2022.
And of course what we have actually experienced up until now is just the beginning.
Our society remains in the procedure of collapsing all around us, and now we have gotten to a point where even our many fundamental services are starting to fail.
I wish that I might tell you that 2022 is going to be much better, however I can’t do that, because it wouldn’t be the reality.
