Some stark numbers illustrate the workforce shortage employers face in every region across all industries.  In May there were  9.3 million workers unemployed and 9.2 million job openings. As the number of unemployed closes in on the number of job openings, employers will have to look beyond the native workforce. May’s Worker Availability Ratio–the ratio of available workers to job openings–was 1.2, similar to what it was before the pandemic. The U.S. can’t meet demand for seasonal workers. In the first half of FY 2021, the Labor Department certified that American employers had  126,943 seasonal employment opportunities they could not fill with American workers.  That is almost twice as large as the statutory cap for the H-2B temporary worker program. This affects landscapers, seafood processors, forestry companies, construction firms, among many others, many of which are small businesses.
