Nurses are on strike.
Many nurses are leaving the profession after the burnout from the pandemic.
Pharmacists are on strike.
With an aging population, pharmacists are filling more prescriptions than ever.
And they are being asked to administer vacccines.
So many professions are understaffed causing customer frustration.
Yesterday, the monthly job report came out with the good news that 336,000 people were employed in September.
Maybe those sitting on the sidelines are returning to work.
Professionals like nurses and pharmacists, however, require extensive schooling.
So, shortages in those fields will take some time to recover.
When we are the customers of shorthanded employees, we must be patient with their dilemma.
If not today, when?
