While the labor shortage has not impacted our business yet, we are preparing for when it does. We are working on increasing automation and looking for ways to do more with less labor. Additionally, we are working on expanding our business into new markets that have a higher concentration of workers.

workers have a bit more leverage at the moment so we may need to increase pay and benefits to make our openings more attractive. I'm okay with this though

We're seeing an increased need for higher wages, so there is that

Sales have decreased because the number of employees has decreased and customer service is a little slower, so customers go to other places with faster service.

It is difficult to find qualified candidates for open positions. This has caused us to increase our offer salaries and extend our job offers to a longer period of time in order to ensure that we can find the best possible candidate for the job.

We are constantly struggling to find qualified workers, and when we do, they often command high salaries and want better benefits than we can't offer without losses. This has forced us to raise our prices and delay some orders, which is really frustrating for our customers.
