An absurd number of jobs around the world are going unfilled

I notice that not a single sentence was devoted to "perhaps the employers aren't offering appropriate compensation to attract suitable talent to the roles". If there's any of those employers reading this comment section, try doubling the salary offered and see if that doesn't spur a little action in filling your role.

What do you know, low wage low skill jobs that require huge amounts of physical labor are going unfilled? And would you look at that ... employers would rather import cheap H1-B labor for higher skill jobs than pay the wages that would fill all these positions.

As Fox News likes to say, if we take away social program people will have to take theses jobs or they'll starve to death. The "free market" will fix everything!
