@5:35 -- Remember "LABOUR shortage" is really an industry term for "WAGE shortage."

All labour shortages are solved by increasing wages and/or working conditions. Only when a company in unwilling to do so do they complain about labour. This is often used as an excuse to bring in foreign workers or robots.

The term robot is from Czech robotnik meaning "forced worker."
