    These jobs require training. Which one can only get if they, get a job there.

    But that costs money the CEO could be making. Better to just pretend to be unable to find workers than invest the money to train the ones they can find

      This is a problem across industries. The programming joke of a job requiring ten years experience in a five year old language is funny because it’s true.

          No, it is true. Companies got sued because they brought in H1-B visas because no domestic worker could meet the impossible job requirement. So they get a slave who has to keep their job or be deported.

          Jobs that are entry level and require years of experience are common.

          And, yes, the assholes in charge are doing this.

      There are vocational schools for this but there is very little public knowledge about them.
