To be fair, even people with actual useful stuff are in dire straits here. I know at least several waiters or shopkeepers with electronics, energy and programming degrees.

Under-employed BS in Physics waving in here...to be fair I stopped actively searching for jobs a long time ago though. I've seriously thought about going for a MS/PhD in EE but in the current situation I'm not even sure if that's a good idea anymore.

I suspect that the whole "STEM shortage" mentioned in the media does not exist in reality and it's just part of an attempt to push for more H1B visas. In other words, what companies really want are the TONS of engineering students from India and China.
