Workers are discovering new found power in the worker/employer dynamic which has caused a record number to leave their jobs for greener pastures. (Washington Post)

The US worker is in short supply like almost never before and they know it. Many are deciding their current jobs are just not worth the pay and are leaving them in record numbers. This new worker scarcity could cause long term wage increases across broad spectrums of the economy. Or the wage increases and worker scarcity could be short term and things could return to ‘normal’ after the pandemic is finally under control. Time will tell if the gains are permanent but if they are more long term then income inequality in America will be lessened to a significant degree.
