I am sure that some of this is now demographic as well. The baby boomers, born at the end of the war are falling out of the marketplace in record numbers.
I appreciate the economy is going gangbusters. I know—I just tried to fill two jobs which would have taken a week four years ago. Its taken a month and a dearth of applications of people who cannot pass a criminal or drug background test.
Fun stuff.
Have you posted on the door, window or computer screen a notice that the applicant will be subject to a DRUG & CRIMINAL BACKGROUND TEST?
Might weed out a few from the start...............

The skills gap is also very problematic for employers. The public school system cannot produce enough competent workers because it has been destroyed by liberals. There are also legions of college grads who do not have adequate preparation for careers or possess sufficient skills to qualify for entry level jobs.
The misguided educational policies of the past are retarding our economic growth.
Today’s Dilbert is rather relevant.
