US, EU, even China and India. Regardless where you are, the economy sucks, housing is not affordable, prices are high, jobs are stagnant and class mobility is nonexistent (except maybe in China).

    its not lack of workers, rather its usually work that not many like to go into. Its for example sorta like trucking. It ends up requiring a specific kind of lifestyle in order to get people who want to be in the position. Back then, people would have more time at home so elderly care would be a family thing. That has slowly started to shift away overtime as core families are more likely now to not be in the same household as back then. There’s a lot of aspects to it.

        im not saying theres plenty of workers at all, its not a desireable job. the labour still exists, its just divided unevenly because some jobs are way more desirable than others
