This is far from the truth. In pretty much every bull market we end up with plenty of unfilled jobs. Even in many bear markets, there is no lack of unfilled jobs.
The problem is the mismatch between skills and desires of those that want a job and the skills and flexibility requirements of the jobs being offered.
A job may require skills not many people have. A job may require you to work in a place or at a time you don't want to work. But to claim that there is a lack of jobs is just wrong.
The problem here is that some jobs offer flexibility and only require a bit more than average human functioning pre-frontal pre-frontal cortex so you can handle doing something like move something from point A to point B. For a job like this, with the benefit of flexibility and the low skill requirements, it's totally reasonable to supply and demand to drive price down as you don't need to pay as much to find people capable and willing to do the job cheaply because it is an attractive job for them.
If you're willing to learn skills and willing to go to where the job is being offered and work when the job needs to be done, you'll find work that supports you.
