Under The Epidemic, The Global Labor Shortage Is Beginning To Show, And Robots Are Becoming The New Hire Choice!

A Restaurant in Melbourne has become an Internet sensation after a shortage of staff made it trendy to use robots as waiters.

Robot waiters at Dodee Paidang, a Thai restaurant, are called Bellabots, and these robots deliver food directly from the kitchen to diners. Restaurant owner Boon Low said using robots is as simple as "pressing a button to tell them which tray and which table number".

It is understood that the purchase price of each robot is A $24,000, but Mr Low is renting each robot at a $48 per day, which is about the cost of hiring a human for two hours. Mr Low said he had trouble finding enough waiters after the lockdown ended and decided to bring the robots into his business as they could also cut costs.

Paul Guerra of the Australian Chamber of Commerce and Industry says shortages are likely to persist ahead of the opening of Australia's international borders next month, and worse, not just in the central business district but across the state.

Hotel job ads surged 204% last month, according to October figures from Seek, while fewer people were browsing them than almost ever before.

"It's time to enter the labor market, and a lot of jobs are open to the masses," said Paul Guerra.

In fact, the pandemic's impact on the job market has been much bigger than expected, both in scope and duration.

Yaroslav Lisovolik, project director of valdai Club, believes that the pandemic will have a long-term impact on the world labor market, with a "lag effect" on both highly qualified and low-income workers. One of the most important factors affecting the world Labour market is the decline in immigration, which has led to Labour shortages in the major countries of immigration.

According to CCTV news report, as the end of the traditional holiday approaching, many American companies are trying to hire more employees, in response to consumer demand growth, but under the influence of the outbreak, the U.S. labor force growth is difficult to meet the demand of enterprise recruitment, labor shortage, to the enterprise, especially small business has brought a lot of trouble.

Jessica, head of a food company, said it was difficult to get a response to recent job postings, and her company's day-to-day operations would have been affected if she had not hired some short-term employees and high school students to work part-time.

In addition, the COVID-19 pandemic will severely hit the development of human capital, such as education and health care, exacerbating the risk of imbalances and shortages.

Today, the international community is increasingly aware of the imminent long-term vulnerabilities of the global economy, which are largely related to the high-tech sector and human capital development, and some of these risks may combine with strong economic influences and have a considerable probability of negative developments.
