Those are the same thing. You may as well say that there is no shortage of food in Venezuela, just a shortage of cheap food.

The reason companies can't get STEM grads at the prices they're willing to pay is because those STEM grads can simply work for a company willing to pay more. That's not a problem for the grads (you bet your ass I'm not complaining too much, haha), but it is for everyone who wants to hire them.

Interesting perspective, but when groceries in Venezuela are literally empty of food at any price, the analogy doesn't hold.
