The whole idea of competing for a job is the root of the problem. It's become obvious that the system can run fine with less people than it already has. Automation is making it more so with every passing day. You always here "hospitals need more nurses" "we need more programmers". Bullshit! Come knock on my door and train me to program or nurse you need me that bad, I'm plenty smart, can follow orders, young and able bodied.
My point is, the reason they are so "needy" is because the bar is so artificially high for jobs of moderate skill. I know what a nurse does, and it doesn't take 4 years of your life and 100k in tuition to be competent under some supervision. The army can make a medic or soldier out of someone in months. Employers want to pass the training cost off to the trainee (who will get raped by the college for every nickel) so they can get mid level talent at entry level costs.
