The author is saying the increase in working-age deaths is a contributing factor to the current employment situation.
I personally don't think there is an employment problem, it's just companies screaming louder than normal.
The thumbnail is interesting. It came from a pamphlet from the California dmv on “Curbstoning” 20 ish years ago, which is apparently someone selling a car that someone else owns. No, I don’t understand the reason for the photo.

6.3 million workers without jobs seems to imply shortages.
Where did the 6.3M number come from, or is that the implied amount from the unemployment figure?
The companies I see hollering about employees around here are the same ones that always cry. Fast food, warehouses, low-level medical, those local companies that are known to be bad employers and have run through everyone qualified. That's reflected in the job postings I get sent to me as well.
I see, I was only looking at the story.
However, just because 6.3M people quit, that doesn't mean they are unemployed - it simply means they left their current employer. With the number of light industries and other places paying a decent wage, leaving job A at $11/hr for job B at $19/hr is a no-brainer, and the $11/hr job can't fill it.
The story even points out that the mean separation rate is about the same as usual, so this is just slightly higher than normal churn.
6.3 million
60 million jobless you say?
Wtf is wrong with you? I clearly said 600 million. It's practically a holocaust.
