How does one count a ‘job opening’ that a company is not attempting or willing to fill?
1. Job openings are easily duplicated across many job boards, inflating the number of “openings” relative to actual positions that are open.
2. Putting out positions and then not hiring any Americans for months is justification for an HB-1 visa hire. So they post the positions but don’t want to pay American rates, so it takes a long time to fill as they wait for the half-price American.
3. Companies that actually want to hire can be choosy in such a down market, so they take the time to find the perfect candidate.
4. Companies think they can find the jack of all trades candidate, who can really fill three jobs while they fill only one. So they post a position with impossible to meet criteria hoping to find a literal Mr. Know it all.
5. Millions looking for work, millions more not in the job market, wages have to fall to find the new set-point. Personal debt levels and rising cost of living expenses (food, utilities, medical care) mean people cannot take a pay cut, delaying a downward adjustment in wages that would eventually lead to more hiring.

outside of a few very specialized areas (certain computer programming things, nursing)
there are mostly only retail clerking jobs on offer

Welfare recipients can get upwards of $54,000 to $60,000 and even more if they claim dependents if they “work” the system. So are they going to go get a job for less or stay on the EBT?
