    No you can definitely have shortages of skilled labor, happens all the time. There is a demand for workers with a certain qualification than there are workers in that field in that location/country.

      What if, hear me out, we paid the skilled labor more to make the position more attractive and also paid for training.

        Well that works in the long run but if you need more, for example, doctors that’s like an 8 year pipeline. Over time the free market will correct for these things but you can’t just create skilled laborers overnight for any sum of money.
