    The supply chain issues are bigger than Covid. There's supply chain issues because the combo of the pandemic and the massive stimulus payments meant that a lot of people retired early and a lot of mothers left the workforce.

    People still have that safety cushion of savings, and they've learned to spend less money on crap, so they aren't in a rush to get back to work. Even if Covid magically disappeared, they wouldn't just go find a job, especially the early retirees. It's only going to get worse because the big end of the Baby Boom is in their late 50s/early 60s right now.
