The sense of a labor shortage is once again increasing in the manufacturing industry. According to the details of the March Short-Term Economic Survey of Enterprises in Japan (Tankan) released by the Bank of Japan on the 2nd, on an all-enterprise basis, personnel of half of the manufacturing industry have changed from a "surplus" state to an "insufficient" state. As it is currently difficult to take in foreign personnel, labor shortages may become a burden on the Japanese economy. Disparities in employment status are also increasing, with accommodation and eating-out now having a surplus of personnel.
When the Diffusion Index (DI), which is obtained by subtracting the ratio of companies that answered that personnel is "insufficient" from the ratio of companies that answered "surplus," dips, it shows that there is a strong sense of a labor shortage. In the index by sector released by the Bank of Japan on the 2nd, production machinery decreased by 13 points from the previous December 2020 survey to minus one and became negative for the first time in four quarters.
