worker shortage

Worker shortage describes the set of circumstances where employers do not pay sufficient renumeration to compensate people for the work being carried out. More commonly known in the past as 'not paying enough for them to give a damb' the term worker-shortage has been used as a comfort blanket for employers to help them in their delusion that paying poverty wages is sufficient. The term is widely used in error and by institutions that see workers as a controllable expense rather than human beings.
The lack of wage inflation for the decades has caused a worker shortage in the lowest paid jobs.
