You are assuming a business and industry is a god given right. If a business fails to get applicants, they need to raise wages or relocate to where there is labor. If they need more income to pay for these workers then they will charge more. If the price they charge for their goods or services is too high for the given level of demand, the business will just fold.

And that's OK, there area a lot of parasitic zombie companies around that could use a culling, wasting peoples working years doing inane tasks rather than starting a project of their own and innovating. As they say, imagine if Mozart never held a violin but was busy working double shifts flipping burgers for 30 years instead.
