From the article:
"My staff visited 79 nearby stores. Forty said they wanted to hire. Twenty-four said they'd hire people with no experience."
This is John Stossel's favorite stunt, he has also walked around offering to hire unemployed people to do manual labor for $8/hr, and been surprised when he doesn't get takers.
Advocating for people who are qualified, and have experience doing higher-paid work to take entry-level jobs feels like a waste. It's pretty clear that these employers aren't willing to offer higher pay, or they would be able to fill their openings, just like white collar positions are filled in a reasonable time.
"We are always hiring" is quite a bad sign for an employer.
