U.S. Labor Shortage Reaching Critical Point - a podcast by American Pastors Network

Labor shortages are one thing. Labor shortages in key areas are another. For example, according to the American Trucking Association, the industry was short more than 36,000 drivers in 2016, and estimated that number could surpass 63,000 in 2018, and 174,000 in 2026. The trade group attributes the driver shortage in part, to a lack of qualified applicants that lack the desired experience or qualifications.
