They are hiring, I do not think you understood the whole video. But they ware hiring only the top 5% or so of the applicants. They want to hire, but only because they want to not lose the opportunity of hiring someone overqualified that happens to be out of a job.

@looseycanon If they hire a single person for that add they would be free from anything a law could do against them. It is waste of time. Just accept that this is the current market. IF you cerate a law to change something you would have the extreme opposite result where there would be ZERO adds unless the company were 100% sure they woudl hire, regardless of the quality of the candidates. That would create a HUGE drop on job offers and yet another reason for companies to shift to overseas. Anything that a government does to interfere in job market always, ALWAYS makes it worse in the long run.

@thelogicmatrix No one is forcing you to apply , no working law system would grant you anything for something that you decided to apply for.. Always by definition most people the apply for a job will just waste their time as you almost always will get more applicant than positions.

Well, if the worker demands more pay than it can generate profit for the company, then there is a worker shortage. A Businness need to be competitive to exist. THese companies re not desperate, but they are not finding the profile of workers they really want to be competitive.

@suprithAnCom MArx knwe NOTHING about economy. He was not an economist. His own work is based on a the absurd assumption that if employees shared the control of the produciton measn they would be more productive. He took that from his own rear end, with zero evidnce. Not a SIngle statement Marx ever made about economy proved to be truth. people need to wake up, he was NOT an economist, he was a sociologist and he had ZERO CLUE about economy. His book is simply flat earth writting equivalent in economics.

@Ehxx That frequently is HR thing. Quite common that managers do nto add ANY degree requirement in a lot of job postings, just for HR to add it themselves. Notice that HR OKR are measured usually in how much qualification they bring into company and they measure it with degrees. That is just bullshit of trying to measure HR performance and just pushes them into doing a worse work.

They are hiring, but they want only the top 5% of applicants, because today workorce is "problematic" in the POV of management.

@ursulasmith6402 Hardly ever. If there is one thing companies hate is relatives hiring. It makes extremely fragile hierarchy systems and makes firing very hard. Most companies have very strong policies against hiring family members. Friends, that is natural, people tend to trust more in friends.

@JohnCrawford1979 Yes and no. What changes job openings are several factors but the ones that make most effect are practice changes of other big companies. Your answer has part of a way, people need to do it themselves, join in groups and make companies for providing services and negotiate in groups (that is FAR FAR more effective than unions, because unions keep the useless people as well, if you make a company you can keep only the people that bring strength to your group. Of course in some areas that is harder than others to do. Companies treat their employees as resources because that is what they are! They are NOT family, they are resources, pretending they are not is just bullshit. People just need to SELL themselves as resource sellers do, in large packages..... Btw job market in USA is NOT bad, seriously compared to rest of world US is still very good. .. is it sliping? yes, but it it no where near a horrible place yet.
