Tight Labor Market

Can anyone explain why we have a tight labor market right now?

I'm also having difficulty understanding when you would consider the market to be "tight": 1) when workers become selective in their job search or 2) just the lack of overall worker availability as the economy reaches full employment. Both would put upward pressure on nominal wages.
