They constantly had 50+ openings for things such as drivers, call center workers, and other "non skilled" labor jobs. There was constant turnover because people didn't show up to work, and they were tough to fill because people couldn't pass back ground check or drug tests. My father is the president of a different company and he has told me the same story there.
Some people may want to work, but they also want to do drugs or do other things that preclude them from working. Others may want to work, but don't want to conform to the schedule they must be on in order to work (shifts or being on time). Then there are those who want to work and should be able to but can't find a job. All three exist and to deny they do is naive on all parts.
Yet all of those jobs were always filled, and I'll bet more people applied for them that were hired.
In my experience whenever their is a job opening more people apply than get hired. It is not like there are that many jobs sitting empty.
BTW you can alwasy teel who's version of the story you arew getting when every single job opening is due to people not wanti g to work and there is never a job opening due to a person getting a better job, or having health problems, or moving to a different location, or having a child, or get married. People leave jobs for all sorts of reasons, but the people who make up the lie about "millions of empty jobs" always blame it on people being lazy.
