When will the supply shortages end is a big question right now for everyone. Experts agree in that no one really knows when will it happen, but there are apparent reasons to believe that we will learn to live with it perhaps until 2022 or even longer.

Now that we know all those giant container ships got stuck in the wrong places causing scarcity and a much higher demand for shipping, the natural consequence to all of that is a skyrocketed cost of moving cargo.

If we all remember, everything was going so well on the customer side. We just needed to click, sit back and relax while the items you wanted, just the way you needed them arrive at your doorstep. We were so spoiled!

In the blink of an eye, we had to adjust our lives to a few options of protective gear available during the beginning of a pandemic. Added to the daily circumstances we faced at the supermarket or drugstore, were more important investments like new cars that you would now have to buy on the color or features that are available at the dealership (if you are lucky enough) because that would be better than not having a more reliable car at all.

Anything that is produced or manufactured is now in short supply

As an example, cars use computer chips and the shortages of chips have made it more difficult to produce vehicles. In turn, that has made it harder and more expensive to buy cars.

According to CNBC, the Covid-19 pandemic is not only having a seismic impact on global public health but also causing chaos for the economy, with supply chain disruptions and labor shortages a big problem for businesses around the world. Shifts that have taken place in the labor market are becoming more pronounced, with many people voluntarily quitting roles just as demand for workers rises as economies reopen. Sectors particularly affected by workers quitting their jobs were accommodation and food services, wholesale trade and state and local government education.
