America is facing a worker shortage crisis. According to the US Chamber of Commerce , there are too many open jobs without people to fill them. According to the data, as of July 2023, there are 9.8 million job openings in the US and only 5.9 million people are unemployed. The US Chamber of Commerce says that the state of California is having the opposite problem, with the state in the bottom five. Data show that California has 110 workers per 100 job openings. This means there is more competition for each job opening in the state.
