5. As journalists it is our responsibility to really dig into the why behind the data. I've read so many stories on the labor shortage, but very few that talked to the employees (rather than employers) on why they aren't returning. We can't leave out the other half of that story.

2. Very few questions on pay & benefits. If we follow the line that people aren't returning to service jobs due to unemployment... Why aren't employers offering living wages that rival it? Unemployment should be the bare minimum to survive, yet many employers are paying far less.
