Mike Rowe claimed Monday on “Timcast IRL” that the labor shortage in the U.S. is a “binary lie” of the left and right.

During the episode, Rowe told host Tim Pool that he had never seen more job opportunities available within skilled trades amid a labor shortage. He expressed his frustration with reasons provided by people of both political ideologies to address the problem.

“‘Those jobs suck. Those jobs don’t pay enough. That’s because your capitalist, greedy, rapacious bosses are just simply not offering a fair wage’. And that’s what my buddies on the left say,” Rowe said, impersonating someone who might have a liberal point of view on the issue.
