Yes, in certain industries, namely manual labor. There's currently an orange shortage because Florida ran out so many migrant workers.
That's not a labor shortage, though. Big Ag is just too stingy to pay enough for non-migrants to want to do it.
I don’t agree. There are tons of people in Florida who would be capable and willing to do manual labor, provides the wages and working conditions were better than alternatives. The ag economy depends on migrant workers because they are more desperate and therefore easier to exploit, which is more profitable.
Also, the orange shortage specifically is more driven by a deadly disease introduced by global trade than any labor shortage.
