The current unemployment rate is < 4%. We're nearing never before seen lows. And that record was set in 1950, when the total labor force (as a percent of the population) was much smaller since women generally did not need to work.
You're talking like being offered a job is some unique luxury. Maybe for extremely desirable jobs, but if a job is extremely desirable you generally just precluded the possibility of the employer being some dysfunctional drug addict - which makes your argument a nonstarter.
So many companies in so many industries are just starving for good employees.
