They never finished the sentence in the news articles.
Business unable to find the labor it needs! Is usually where they stop they leave out the "at the price they want". From the sentence.
It really should say business unable to find the labor it needs at the price it wants
Journalists really shouldn't let businesses get away with not saying the quiet part out loud.
Very rarely is it really something like there's 13 people in the world who can do this. And none of them live here. That's an interesting story, but that's not the story that's often told. It's usually local laborers too expensive we want to import some external labor that's less expensive. At least in the United States then they craft a job specification that can't be matched locally but it's tailored specifically for an external candidate to get a visa.
It also would have been perfectly fine to name the company in the headline. There is plenty of room for it. But that’s Business Insider for you.
