What's Wrong with This Picture?

I'm sure some economics guru has the answer to this conundrum...

Every day at work I hear someone talk about how they don't have enough staff to get all the work done. I hear this from people in other departments, people in my own department, people working for other companies, and I've even said it myself a time or two!

Every day at work I hear someone talk about how we need to cut back on staff because we can't afford to pay for all these employees. I hear this from my bosses, from other peoples bosses and bosses in other companies; however, I've never said this myself!

Every day I hear that the jobless rate is climbing and that is bad for the economy. I also hear about how companies are striving to automate their processes to reduce the number of employees they have so they can save money.

There's a basic problem here, shouldn't we be seeing something about this on the 6:00 news?
