The Black Death caused labor shortages in Europe.

Recorded sources
7 sources for · 0 against

Counts group repeated records of the same source within each side. They do not measure evidence strength or source independence.

Is it true that the Black Death caused labor shortages in Europe?

Yes. Multiple reference and textbook sources state that the Black Death sharply reduced the population and workforce, producing labour shortages and rising wages across Europe. A peer-reviewed essay adds nuance about timing and unevenness but does not dispute that shortages occurred.
