That's not a failure of the market - it's not worth their overhead to deal with someone working 30 hours a week. Quality dropoff and more people quitting takes

  > it's not worth their overhead to deal with someone working 30 hours a week. How do you know this?

  "not worth their overhead to deal with someone working 30 hours a week" What a ridiculous thought process. An overworked and stressed-out employee is going to make mistakes and they will always ultimately quit the job. The employer will then have to start a hiring and training process for a replacement. Creating significantly more overhead for the employer. A happy employee, working a reasonable 30 hours a week is going to be less stressed, less likely to make mistakes, and be overall more pleasant. A happy employee is more likely to stay working for that employer for a long time. Meaning the employer will not have to hire and train new employees, lowering overhead costs.

    Yes. To clarify, it's completely reasonable to pay someone working 30 hours a week less, it's even okay to pay them less per hour. Make an offer! A problem is that almost nobody will offer any salary at all to a nurse willing to work 30 hours per week. It's a testament to the flexibility of our market, or the lack thereof. If a nurse is willing to perform 30 hours of skilled labor and our economy cannot extract any value from that, what does that say about our economy?
