I agree. Here in Lubbock, we have a lot of call centers, and they have been continuously hiring for god knows how long, they just can’t get enough people to cover there contracts. A domino’s here has been trying to hire a delivery driver for over 6 months to no avail. These are all low skill jobs, I can’t imagine how difficult it is to fill high skilled positions. The fact is that basically there is not enough workers here to fill jobs be they delivery drivers or engineers. I wish someone would come up with a “unfilled positions rate” to measure how many positions here are going unfilled due to lack of available talent.

How much do they PAY?

capitalism 101: if you have a position and cannot fill it, consider raising the rate offered.

i would guarantee that dominoes position would be gone in a week if you jacked the hourly rate to $20/hr. And if so... then the problem isn't finding people, but offering a proper price for the job. (label the position as 'up to $20/hr' and see what happens.. actual pay may vary)

It would be nice, but not possible, to have an “unfilled” rate. 60% of jobs are filled by word of mouth, friend to friend, email friend to email friend, etc.

In the past, most jobs were not in the Classifieds, nor in the unemployment office. Now, most jobs are not listed at DICE, MONSTER, CAREERBUILDER, HOTJOBS, and other dot coms.

How many conservatives even bother to send their resume and check CONSERVATIVEJOBS.COM ?
