Employment is so turrible out there that job openings are at a 14 year HIGH

[JohnnyBeeDawg]

5.133 million jobs are open rat now.

Trouble is, the ones we can't fill are the HIGH paying, HIGH skilled jobs. Over half of S&P 500 companies reporting they're struggle to find skilled applicants to fill "mission critical" positions. We don't need more burger flippers, but that's who our education system is pumping out in droves.

Thanks, Teachers Unions! Thanks, Libtard Academians! We have kids HIGHLY educated in propaganda on the taxpayer dime, but low in marketable skills or critical thinking. Congratulations to the College Administrators and middle management who have increased their numbers 10 fold in the last 2 decades! Congrats to all the VPs of Diversification making quarter million dollar salaries from Daddy's money! We couldn't do it without you!

Give an extra big tip to that Art History major today at lunch. She's got a 6 figure student loan to default on.

But there are some burger flippers with bright futures?


Can't believe this guy isn't upwardly mobile.

We've only been warned for 15 years that ...

these were the new jobs that were coming. We are a dumb f'n country. However, what about all these old folks that have been replaced by H1B people? Couldn't some of them be trained for this mission critical work pretty quickly? I think these companies don't want to train these old people. Sometimes you've just got to take what you've got. We've got enough imported Asians. Maybe take some of these old folks and some of these sorry ass kids in the basement and spend some of that extraordinary cash that is sitting on the sidelines to train them. Show some patriotism. I know you are going to probably do your absolute best to destroy these comments in the most smartass way possible.

The problem is; these old folks and kids in the basement actually...

expect to be paid decent wages to do the mission critical work and big businesses today expect to hire a bunch of brown skinned people to work for slave wages and do quality work. They don't want to do any training, they want a staffing company to bring in people they can lease (so they won't actually be employees and the business have to provide any benefits or deal with any labor laws) from India or Pakistan or Africa.

I have a very good friend who lives in the Charlotte area. He was a VP in the IT department at Bank of America. He got laid off in '09 when BOA made some cost cutting moves. He was hired by a consulting firm on a contract basis doing the same job six months later for...BOA. He worked for them for 6 years and now he is on contract for Wells Fargo. He is managing IT projects and everyone who works under him is here on a H1B visa working as a contractor. He says the Indians make about 60-70% of what the US workers made.

Those businesses can cry me a river.

That is exactly what I think about this so called "shortage" *

Speaking with my Fedex and UPS guys the past week or so, seems, there are plenty of jobs at Fed Ex and UPS. Both of them have told me that they cant get young people hired on because of weed, then once they are hired and trained up they have to take DOT physicals and they fail those(weed). FedEx guy has said, young people just don't want to work. FedEx is starting people off at 16 and 19 dollars an hour here in Augusta and cant find help.

I don't want to work either

but the keeds need to eat.

Cant blame an old guy for turning down a $90,000 per year job

With full benefits when he deserves so much more.
Especially when he can sit at home and enjoy his free time.

I was looking for a job not too long ago, and employers actually frown on

hiring overqualified people. Maybe it is a tad different six months later, and I ended up finding a similarly paying job, but generally speaking, its hard to get a new job that results in you working your way down the corporate ladder. Employers apparently don't want to hire someone that is going to be gone the minute the job market improves.
