Or do companies simply not want to hire?

According to Clarify Capital, a small-business-loan provider, a survey of more than 1,000 hiring managers last summer, 27% reported having job postings up for more than four months. Half of those surveyed admitted they advertised job postings that they weren't actively trying to fill, saying they kept the ads up to give the impression their companies were growing.  One-third of the managers who said they advertised jobs they weren't trying to fill said they kept the listings up to placate overworked emplovees.

Scumbags.

So despite what the corporate megalopolis may want you to believe, COVID really did change the labor landscape in this country. This are never—and I repeat never—going back to the way things were prior to spring 2020. It may not be the work-from-home paradise so many of us were enjoying, but it's not going to be returning to the 5 day a week 8-5 grind in a corporate cubicle either.
