Can confirm, the demand for factory work is insane right now. I know someone who went to work for a factory because the pandemic effectively killed his profession (union pipeline welder) and he pretty much exclusively works 12 hour shifts 6 days a week because there just isn't enough workers to keep up with the demand atm.

He was in a desperate situation because he got saddled with debt trying to stay afloat during Covid, so he just does that and keeps his head down all the time while paying things off. Its a shame too, he was so close to retirement and now I don't think he will be able to.
