Yeah I've heard several anecdotal reports of companies having problems staffing up. I imagine a lot of experienced people left the industry over the last decade, so there is a vacuum in terms of knowledge and experience in some of the more hands-on areas. Offer enough money and people will come back...but that does take time...and money. In the meantime, while new recruits get up to speed, we probably should expect less efficiency, and a higher chance of error.
