Is there a genuine shortage of associates or is all the recent news merely hyperbolic?

If a reporter sets out to find and interview 20 lawyers who quit during 2020-2021, obviously he would think that people are quitting en masse. Or even worse, he is simply trying to substantiate the conclusions in his article because that's the editorial direction he has been given. But are those 20 vacancies being competed for by 200 other applicants? Lawyers have always been quitting even before Covid.

I would think that there should be a sharp rise in salaries like what's happening in London and the US, if there's a genuine war for talent or even just warm bodies.

The fact that I don't see it here, leads me to doubt that there's a real crunch.
