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.
All the jobs weren't always filled, in fact many never closed because they never got to full capacity EVER. There are thousands and thousands of truck driving jobs across the country that have remained open for long periods of time, in fact as of last year there were 235k trucking positions that were unfilled. There are jobs out there for those willing to be open to what they do, where they work, and when they work. If they aren't looking to work, then they aren't really relevant in this discussion. If they want to work then they need to understand that they don't set the "rules", you have to conform to the "rules" given by the potential employer. If you can't find a job because you don't want to conform then that is that persons issue not anyone else.
As for your little jab at the end, I am giving you a view from someone who hired people for a living. I never said ALL the turnover was for one reason, I did say that there was constant turnover because of those issues which is factual. If you want to ignore real life accounts for your own opinion on the situation that is fine, however I am simply giving you a real life example. Whats your background in recruiting and hiring, directly that is, not things people who didn't get jobs told you?
