Just to add that whilst labour shortages inevitably turn the thoughts of UK commentators to Brexit, 6.25 million EU citizens applied for and were granted leave to remain in this country. Two years of enforced economic idleness under 'covidworld' did persuade some to relocate back from their miserable UK bedsits to family in their countries of origin (if they still could), but many are still here and in our labour force. If we examine recruitment problems replicated at airports across Euroland: DUB, AMS, DUS, BER and many more, plus across into the US and Australia, it is clear that we can't just blame Brexit and look no further. Industry remuneration, terms and conditions need a reset. And this extends across the spectrum of blue collar employment; the UK was not the only country with shortages of truck drivers, bus drivers and many more roles too. The issue is widespread.
