There are many reasons why there is a labor shortage, including the fact that a large portion of the population is of retirement age. The whole "they're paying people not to work" thing is just a way of blaming the situation on Joe Biden and democrats.
They can't accuse Biden of "killing jobs", so they have to complain that there are too many jobs.
One thing's for sure, Ayn Rand had it wrong. Apparently labor can shrug too.
