This is completely missing the point: it's free to whine about a "labor shortage" (at the price you are willing to pay). Best case you'll get subsidies (direct or indirect) from the government. Worst case? Nothing happens.

Immigration quotas/special visas, programs to get more people into the field you are trying to hire from (all the X group in STEM programs for instance).
