Problem is, there's no lack of people looking for work - there's a lack of people who want to work these particular jobs. For every 300 applicants for an ez comfy remote six-figure developer position, there's 0 for a (literal shit-job) wastewater treatment plant position paying $16/hr - and it's no wonder why.
- actionablefiber 4y agoI've seen this exact problem with home health assistants. If you have a Medicaid waiver and qualify for a home assistant, Virginia will pay $16/hr for a full-time assistant in a high COL area. The bottleneck is of course finding someone willing to accept unlivably low wages (edit: which you cannot supplement) for a very hands-on, dead-end job that entails significant liability.
- jamiek88 4y agoIt’s physically exhausting work too. The conditions are so shitty and pay so poor that I almost question the motivations of people doing it. A lot of ‘saints’ but also a lot of theft and abuse , particularly around medication occurs in these low cost facilities and low pay home help.
- msbarnett 4y agoI take your point but lol at the idea of 300 applicants for a remote dev position. If we saw 30 applicants all year is would be a miracle.
- worthless-trash 4y agoCan we see your job advert ? without seeing it, i'm going to guess: - Java developer / C++ developer - 10+ years of experience - Low end of medium wage. - Something about excitement in your advert.
- msbarnett 4y agoImpressively wrong in every single aspect
- worthless-trash 4y agoStill no advert.
