Some jobs are short staffed because not enough people have applied. Or because new hires chose to never show up or had quit or been fired during the first week or month.
After experiencing working in 4 different industries where the amount of employees affects the workload on each worker, majority of the short staffing issues are due to not enough competent workers applying for the job. Management can hire everyone who applies but that doesn’t mean the location will have enough staff after the first month of hiring.

It is to cut cost so yes they refuse to hire people.
My industry is always struggling to find applicants, despite very reasonable prerequisites for applying and paying a ton of money (with great benefits.) Why? Because it’s hard and dangerous. If they doubled the money, we’d probably still always be understaffed.
They’re refusing to hire them in that they’re almost certainly not offering a good wage for that work.
