350 million people and a dearth of qualified workers?
Well, I guess we should throw open the borders then.
I guess they’ll have to offer higher wages. Then the workers they need will magically appear.
Propaganda alert!
Is this Alice in Wonderland? 93+ million Americans out of work and recruiters can’t hire anybody? WTH?
That’s funny, all those years that I applied for positions trying to save my house and these bastards used to tell me “you’re overqualified” . I used to say I will take the job and goof off more!
Blame government funded public education. (Fall alert)
and that’s why they keep laying off experienced, highly trained and skilled American workers who are required to train their “qualified” replacements.
I’m doing what I can. I’ve helped dozens of my stepson’s friends how to fix everything from engines to making craters from Mom’s kitchen and laundry chemicals.
At least we all here will go down with the last shot of survival.

Cuz they’ve been aborted. Shame on our country....murdering human beings during the most vulnerable time of their life.
This ranks high on the BS meter. Where are these mysterious jobs they are trying to fill?
What they fail to mention is how many of these poor hurting companies require masters degrees for jobs that a mere 10 years ago were available to mere bachelors or to HS grads with a functional skill set.
The scam is in making your qualifications impossible to meet unless A list talent will take D list wages.
Woe is us! no Americans can meet our requirements!!!!
So even the illegal immigrants won’t accept their crappy wages anymore. They’ve learned they make more on welfare.

$12.00@hr after ninety day probationary period.
No, this isn’t a real ad, but they’re getting that ridiculous.
I saw a real one the other day that required a degree for data entry and order taking.
Ridiculous.
And you are better off if you train an eager person than you are hiring a know it all who will shortly be telling you how to run your business.
By qualified they mean someone with a graduate degree, ten years of experience, and willing to work for $5 an hour 80 hours a week under incompetent management.
It's one of two things....they hire morons...or they hire good people that won't work under the conditions of the job.
Talk about a catch 22....
small businesses have been pointing out the difficulty in attracting qualified workers.”
There is a huge lack of young people who can spell without the benefit of spellcheck for even simple words, compute 20% of $100 without a calculator, write a decent letter or know how to respond to an email in a professional manner using complete words and correct punctuation.
Interviewed three young ladies in their 20’s this week, all with college degrees, all currently unemployed for an entry level position in a doctor’s office. Two of the three sent the doctor a text message “TY for the time”. Third one did send a thank you letter to the doctor but spelled his name incorrectly. Seems like there is no training or education in basic life skills.
When a liberal guy majors in feminist lit, they’re aren’t too many jobs for which he is qualified.
Not surprising - the current unemployable rate seems to be about 47%.
