The shortages appear to be greatest at the highest and lowest skill level occupations.
As higher wage jobs become available, people tend to move from the lower wages jobs to the higher wage ones, further aggrivating the shortages in the lower wage occupations.
This process should place upward pressure on wages and benefits in the lower wage jobs, unless there exists barriers to increasing wages.
Increasing Shortages In Lower Wage Occupations

Improve wages, benefits and working conditions especially to retain existing workers as well as to attract new ones.
Make use of new sources of labor, such as welfare recipients, retirees, disabled, and immigrants.
Increase per worker productivity. Includes making existing workers more productive as well as hiring or promoting people from lower wage jobs.
