Among the many new Floridians arriving in the wake of the pandemic is Jeff Korzenik, who relocated with his wife from Chicago to St. Petersburg this fall. Korzenik, chief investment strategist for one of the country’s largest banks, spends more than 100 days a year traveling the country, meeting with thousands of clients, and he’s developed a wealth of insights into the economy and markets.
In the course of his travels, he became interested in the labor market specifically, how U.S. businesses will meet a worsening shortage of workers that’s likely to become permanent. Demographics, as they say, are destiny: U.S. birth rates peaked in 1990 and have fallen below the rate at which our society can replace those who age out of the workforce. The U.S. economy needs about 2.5 million new workers a year, and immigration and growth in the native-born, working-age population won’t fill the gap. We’re falling short by at least 1 million workers a year.

This allegation is untrue: the update, which allows people who have been fully vaccinated to ditch their face masks in most places, was based on scientific evidence and healthcare milestones cited by CDC Director Rochelle Walensky.
“You guys do know that the CDC lifting those guidelines out of the blue with no solid explanation proves they lied to you the whole time about everything, right? Just want to make sure everyone has processed that correctly,” reads the tweet ( here ), retweeted almost 10,000 times as of the publishing of this article. It has also been replicated on Facebook, gaining at least 3,000 shares ( here , here , here , here ).
