During that same time period, March 2020 until now:

~1,200,000 people in the USA died of 100% preventable smoking related deaths. ~1,500,000 people in the USA died of mostly preventable heart related issues, not counting the increases noted this year. ~1,500,000 people in the USA died of cancer. ~6,500,000 people in the USA died of old age.

(stats approximate. https://www.cdc.gov/nchs/fastats/leading-causes-of-death.htm)

It's more likely that the places looking for people are ones that have always had trouble finding/keeping people, and a good chunk of the remaining are jobs were people left because they had a moment in 2020 to sit down and consider exactly what they were doing with their lives. The fact that an extra 240,000 a year died, many of them older and probably not in the workforce anyway, would appear to have very little effect in the grand scheme of things.

It fits the narrative that covid caused workplace issues when it's really just shitty employers being shitty. .
