    I’ve run into dozens of people who are complaining about how they have applied to literally everything and never heard back or get rejected for things like gas station cashier and yet those places always put up the help wanted signs. Shortage seems like a fabrication when these places hire nobody and keep the ad up

      When I.T and nurses are complaining that they keep getting ghosted and can’t find work? That feels like a major economic failure signal to me. It’s freaking mad.

        nurses, usually shouldnt have a problem, i think they are desperate enough to fill spots. but its likely things like mandatory hours or whatever is required.

          It’s still the same as what they’re saying.

          Why do the hours suck and how can they fix it? Hire more full time nurses. Why are they denied sick and vacation leave? Under staffing.

          Why can’t/don’t they? Broken system

      they keep the ad up sothat when roxy and joe walk in in the morning, the employer can tell them “uhm, unfortunately we can’t find any other hire, so you 2 people will have to do the work of 3”, effectively cheaping out of paying another person’s wages.
